I'm mostly sober these days, I don't know what you heard

I only drink onstage, I only smoke to burn

Away the frivilous things, to ride the syllable swings, to fight the urge to go swimmin in the criminal springs

I'm mostly happy these days, don't know if you read

Between the lines I wrote, and the lines I dread

To cross over it's a long way back, when I'm sunk in the saddle and I'm circlin the cul de sac

I mostly understand why you couldn't stay

Why the best of you, you went and took away

Girl those eyes they be shinin like a cigarette, you light 'em up I breathe 'em in till there's nothin left

So don't believe the hype or the flowing hyperbole

Mighta done the crime, but I never did the perjury

Wait for the dust cloud to settle on the rhetoric

Even if ya rush now, you'll never get ahead of it

I tip my cup, I tip it on over

No I ain't got luck, I'm just a three leaf clover

I keep my feet on the narrow and the straight

And I ain't too stoned to say

I'm mostly sober these days

I'm mostly sober these days, don't know what you seen

I only drink to sleep, I only sleep to dream

Away the cries and the calls I been listenin', put a hole in the walls I'm imprisoned in

I'm mostly lonely these days, don't know where you went

Who you call your friends, How your time gets spent

My last on a ticket back home, A one way trip down an east bound road

I'm mostly crazy these days, when I think of you

While the earth it shakes, girl your aim stays true

Bullseye, honey right down the center of, straight shot through the heart of a sinners love
