On The Rocks

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I ain't no scholar, I don't write no books

I don't spend my money on the last girl honey

Cus she hates my guts.

I paid my rent late, so my landlord's angry

And all this shit keeps piling up and trying to hang me.

I Give my love in on the run, on the run, on the run

So don't you try to slow me down and walk around yeah

Sick of trying to strum along with your love song

So leave me here to pour another drink on the rocks

All of this will hold you

Down on to the ground until your crawling on the gravel like a regular guy.

All, all of this will hold you down on to the ground

Until your drowning in your sorrows with a bottle of rye.

I ain't got no savior, I ain't got no time,

I know i'm stuck with a problem that will come through and swallow up my last dime.

All I wanted was some peace and quiet, to take me out of here

Before I start a riot.

Lost my reason, I done lost my way

I done sat here for hours and heard all the songs in the jukebox plays

So keep your sunny days away from here

And I'll pour the liquor down and smile while I say.

Life's been on the rocks I've taken

My last shot at holding on to

Life's been on the rock's I've taken

My last shot at holding on to

All of this will hold you

Down on to the ground until your crawling on the gravel like a regular guy.

All, all of this will hold you down on to the ground

Until your drowning in your sorrows with a bottle of rye.
