Gracefully Facedown

Lately things ain't been going my way Consequently I've been drinking nearly every day It's hard to keep your head up when they're knocking you down So I been making that all go round Drinking bottom shelf bourbon to ease my mind Seems to work alright 'til closing time But you know you're gonna come down every night And there ain't no way you'll ever feel satisfied Ain't that hard to figure where to begin It's Friday night so I'm rushing in Like a fool I get it anywhere I can Well I've been having a hard time Walking a straight line Seeing two of every single neon sign Well now you'll find me downtown Gracefully face down Just wishing I could feel alright Instrumental Interlude Well lately I've been wanderin around with eyes closed It seems like I been heading down the wrong road Thought I'd find my way by now But I still got lost somehow Y'hear shots fall down from Heaven above You might lose a friend you might fall in love But you know you're gonna come down every night And there ain't no way you'll ever feel satisfied Six in the morning 'til your dying day It's straight bad news and bills to pay But come five o'clock you're feeling good again Well I've been having a hard time Walking a straight line Seeing two of every single neon sign Well now you'll find me downtown Gracefully face down Just wishing I could feel alright Banjo solo Well I been so high I hit my head on the ground Sat up on the floor seems the room spin around But when you squint real hard through the bottom of the bottle Things really don't look so bad You drink a cheap malt liquor from a 40 ounce bottle A fifth of bourbon, some pills if you've got 'em But you know you're gonna come down every night And there ain't no way you're ever gonna feel satisfied There's years of my life I don't remember at all Like one Friday evening I can barely recall It was a sick situation in a bar room bathroom stall Well I've been having a hard time Walking a straight line Seeing two of every single neon sign Well now you'll find me downtown Gracefully face down Just wishing I could feel alright Yeah I been wishing I could feel alright Yeah I been wishing I could feel alright
