lyrics

She says she didn't think it'd all get this far
She's talkin' shit on me on the other end of the bar
that crazy jetter laughs while she flexes her charm
as if he hadn't heard that one before

She comes back over, pours me another beer
Says, "can't believe how much has changed in fifty some years."
"how fast and slow the world is when it moves on
I guess we're just a bunch of slow boiled frogs."

She lights herself another Lucky Strike
thinkin' about her dwindling supply
Exhales the bitterest "Jesus Christ," and starts to talk about
how if he was gonna come back he would'a come back by now


Yeah I know world's so fucked up
Lady, let's just get drunk


It's right about now she starts slurring her lines
it's either that or shaking hands all the time
as the script thins out she starts to disappear
Danny asks for another drink but she doesn't seem to hear.

She takes Propranolol, old drugs I sold her a week ago
They help slow down her gas can heart
says, "Jesus Christ, I thought these things were supposed to kill.
But it's everything else that makes me ill."


Yeah I know world's so fucked up
I'm just here to get drunk


It's not the kind of place that you can forget
All of your good ol’ days that you still regret
