Sore Throat Blues

It got me out of bed at 11am not feeling as good as before

Oh it got me out of bed at 11am with a knock at my front door

Stepped over a bible on a walk to the car

A second chance is just a second chance to fall apart

While on the way to another bar

And this is gonna be the bitter end

I’m gonna fall apart at the state fair surrounded by people that I’ll never know

The blood relatives are a couple days away

But I still have some family here, I live so happily

This will be the last air that I breathe

And you will be the last person I see

And this will be the last time you see me

This will be the last air that I breathe

And you will be the last person I see

And this will be the last time you see me

It got me out of bed at 11am not feeling as good as before

Oh it got me out of bed at 11am on someone else’s floor

The lights were blinking as all the people gathered

In a place that really only seems to matter two times a year

If you count when I’m here

The music didn’t even stop I had to listen to the songs I didn’t know, and all the songs I didn’t like

And somehow felt all alone in what could have been the last moments of my life, that’s no way to live

If the only thing I leave behind is a story for a couple of kids to tell their friends, then I’ll be alright

This will be the last air that I breathe

And you will be the last person I see

And this will be the last time you see me

This will be the last air that I breathe

And you will be the last person I see

And this will be the last time you see me

There is no grand finale
