All my friends have 9 to 5s

Mortgages with kids and wives, touché

And all I have are drunken nights

Hotel rooms and red-eye flights, hooray

Maybe at a glance

Shit could tend to look a lot more pretty

But if you had the chance

Could ya, would ya wanna swap wit' me, Jimmy?

My lil' sis just got her doctorate degree

First to finish school on our family tree, hooray

This music thing's been a disaster for me

But I'm obligated contractually, touché

Maybe at a glance

Shit could tend to look a lot more pretty

But if you had the chance

Could ya, would ya wanna swap wit' me, Jimmy?

Ran into an old friend the other day

He seems to have made the grade

Said the life he had he'd gladly trade if he could just play the songs I played

Well, I sing the blues 'cause my life consists of booze, bad news, and bills that are past due

And so the question ensues

Would you really wanna walk in my shoes?

I've been here time and time before

My life's like a broken record

I still got miles and miles to go

Can't stay this low forever

I've been here time and time before

My life's like a broken record

I still got miles and miles to go

Can't stay this low forever
