Half Drunk

Half drunk, half stoned, and living alone In a land of ten thousand goodbyes Half down, half up, please pass me the buck Of a victim, too scared to sing high But necessity came crawling on me To play well the part of soprano in the opera Life is horrible, I guess you know I wouldn't trade you for peace or war But just lay low boy, the tide's sure to turn Half baked, half fried, and looking at these bloodshot eyes In the looking glass of yore Half blown, half broke, please send them a message from this German boat And tell em that I tried Take care, so long, and goodnight Don't lean on the lamp posts of China in the summertime Take your lovers bow, and tell em how Your father spent time herding cows And keep composure The farm's doing fine Half love, half hate, well isn't that the only realistic bait That will walk you down an isle Half here, half there, could you accept that dare And keep a glimmer of youth in your eye Stay strong, don't cry in the night And tell the old timers that the hoe-down's coming soon enough Well, I loved you, I love you I'd walk the line for you But, darlin it's a little too long Well, jump overboard, and send the word To take care in the afterworld She's still afloat, boys So keep your head up high
