Shoot The Shit
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 don't wanna do this grown up shit no more
I wanna shoot the shit with you and crash out on your floor
But the floor's long gone and so are you my friend
And now I wonder if we'll ever shoot the shit
Cause now everybody's opted for a new kind of life
The buddy gets the boot from the screaming wife
It's really fucked that no one wants to be a kid no more
Cause the best bed I ever had was on your floor
It ain't as bad as I make it seem
But it's got me feeling down
And I know that it wouldn't be such shit
If you were still around
And if you're ever in town come knocking on my door
There will always be a place for you on my floor
Yeah we'll sip a Schlitz and sit around and shoot the shit
And laugh at all the jokes no one will ever get
Man I'm so glad you didn't go out like those fuckers did
Your hair is going gray but you're still a kid
And really pissed that no one wants to be a kid no more
Cause the most fun I ever had was on your floor
It ain't as bad as I make it seem
But it's got me feeling down
And I know that it wouldn't be such shit
If you were still around
