Get Gone Again

Slobberbone

I'm so sick of writing

Songs about screwing up

No matter how much I fall down,

It seems it's never enough

No matter how much good luck

Throws itself my way,

I find some way to ruin it;

Fall down again the next day



Road rashed, run down, wrinkled from the rain

The song in my heart makes just one sound,

But I sing along just the same

And I wonder how long I'll hang around

Before I go insane

Before I break down

And get gone again

Put myself on trial again for crimes I couldn't see

My naked aggression was picked up on a charge of indecency

And I remember how I felt when first it exposed itself to me

And pray for forgiveness, and a sympathetic jury



Road rashed, run down, wrinkled from the rain

The song in my heart makes just one sound,

But I sing along just the same

And I wonder how long I'll hang around

Before I go insane

Before I break down

And get gone again



And it makes no difference

what you thought you came here for

Any plans that you might have had; swept right out the door

And it makes no difference how hard you think you've tried,

Cause what you'll find out in the end is that its just a lie

There've been girls that loved me,

But I cheated on them,

With a woman named Whiskey,

And Gin, her best friend



Their affections flow like liquid

To a thousand other men,

Who'll trade loving for liquor;

Salvation for sin

Road rashed, run down, wrinkled from the rain

The song in my heart makes just one sound,

But I sing along just the same

And I wonder how long I'll hang around

Before I go insane

Before I break down

And get gone again
