Week Five - Atlantic Shitty
I'm writing, recording, and releasing a song a week for a year. I hope it finds you somewhere along the way :)
lyrics
I wanted this song to be about how much I needed a wild night out
It’s true, in a way, but not in the way I wanted
Seeing signs for Absecon and driving right past Stockton
Put a knot in my stomach and I could hardly stomach the idea of food
But god am I thirsty and tonight Cody turns thirty
And I can’t think of a better time to relapse
But alas, it’s my responsibility to get these boys home safely
So help me god if that isn’t what happens
I know what will happen
If I put that drink to my lips
And let my disease get a hold of the poison
They’ll be pissed as they’re calling their Lyft
And if I don’t die I’ll wind up in prison
Cause that’s what happens
When you smell the bay and see the bright array of lights
You know you’ll be gambling on having a good time
I’m staring at a screen with tropical fish
And it’s making all kinds of noises
Sure sounds like I’m winning
But that number’s decreasing
I know I’m due for a big one
So I’m taking out my wallet
I know it’s gonna happen, come on any second now
Please don’t tell me I have a problem with this too
I have a problem with this too
And I know I can never walk at the right time
I’m always walking a fine line
Say it ain’t so
Say it ain’t so
