On the Rocks

I ain't no scholar, I don't write no books I done spend my money on the last girl honey and she hates my guts I paid my rent late, so my landlord's angry And all this shit keeps piling up and tryin' to hang me I give my lovin' on the run (on the run, on the run) So don't you try to slow me down and walk around yeah Sick of tryin' to strum along, with' yo' love song So leave me here to pour another drink on the rocks All of this will hold you Down onto the ground until you're crawlin' on the gravel Like a regular guy Oh all of this will hold you, down onto the ground Until you're 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 that 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 rocks I've taken my last shot at holding on to All of this will hold you Down onto the ground until you're crawlin' on the gravel Like a regular guy All, all of this will hold you, down onto the ground Until you're drowning in your sorrows with a bottle of rye Like a regular guy
