Higher

If life's a bowl of cherries
Why is mine the pits
Well
I feel like crap from the bottom
Of my boots to my hat
To my fingertips
I wanna get drunk get stoned
Get high and hang out with my friends
And all I need is a woman's warmth
And that's where you come in
I wanna get high and then get higher
Every city is just a little bit
Different in the same way
I wanna get drunk and then get drunker
Live every minute to the limit
Till the end of my days
Well a bus pulls up the honky tonk
And there's a line
Around the honky-block
Ya know, that's what
These crackers love to see
Ya, see I threw out my fishing line
And honey I caught you
When after the show in the back of the bus
Oh sweetheart I know what you wanna do
You wanna high and then get higher
Every city is just a little bit
Different in the same way
You wanna get drunk
And then get drunker
And spend every minute to the limit
Till the end of my days
Now sit down honey
I'm gonna tell you the truth
For the first time
Oh, no dinner, no movie
No flowers, no malls
No suit, no tie, no cell phone
Calls no promises
Popcorn roller skates diamond rings
Or making cakes no brand new
Fast cars, ice cream, candy, bars
Checkin' in callin' back no
(Do you think I'm fat) kiss me once
Kiss me twice damn
You feel nice do you think
I might see you next year
Stone and then get stoneder
Every woman's just a little bit
Different in the same way
I wanna get drunk and then get drunker
Yeah, live every minute to the limit
Till the end of my days
Oh, yeah spend every minute
To the limit till the end of my days
