Dixie Downer

You've got your pride

Wrapped up in a righteous coat of armor

Your certitude reflects the cracks beneath the shine

You foot the bill for a lost opportunity

Woah oh

You failed to seize the day

Woah oh

But who's to blame

With one door closed, another opens

And tomorrow might be worth the wait

Been down this road

Lost count of all the beefs and quarrels

The brotherhood won out, we lived it like a code

And now your nose is out of joint

Shut out the world to make a point

You foot the bill for a lost opportunity

Woah oh

You failed to seize the day

Woah oh

But who's to blame

With one door closed, another opens

And tomorrow might be worth the wait

Please help me understand

(I'm not the enemy)

We've been through thick and thin

(Think of the history)

We go back all the way

To Dixie-downer summer days

Woah oh

You failed to seize the day

Woah oh

But who's to blame

With one door closed, another opens

We've left too many words unspoken

It might be bent but it's not broken

And tomorrow might be worth the wait

So where do we go from here?

We're not getting any younger

This life's too short and you're still my brother

Woah Woah

So many words unspoken

Woah Woah

I'm missing my oldest friend
