Shades

I see you out at every bar now baby
No matter where I go
You're getting your drinks for free
And just talkin' with those rich folks you know
You did the bouncers and all of their friends now baby
Bartenders too
So when they find out that you're only 19
There won't be anything they can do
But I don't come 'round here to meet nice people anyway
And what the hell am I doing drunk in the middle of the day?
And I can feel the departure of all of my hard-earned pay
But with the shades drawn
Everything just drifts away
And with the shades drawn
Everything just drifts away
But I'm sure that I will see you 'round town now baby
'Cause this town's way too small
I'm sure that I'll run into you smokin'
And leanin' on that bathroom wall
And here's hopin' that tonight maybe
You will drag some gorilla on home
So for about an hour or two
You won't have to feel like you're all alone
But I dont come 'round here to meet nice people anyway
And what the hell am I doin' drunk in the middle of the day?
And I can feel the departure of all of my hard-earned pay
But with the shades drawn
Everything just drifts away
And with the shades drawn
Everything just drifts away
And with the shades drawn
Everything just drifts away
