In Spite of it All

His shoulders slump heavy

'Neath the weight of the news

In the corner of a bar

In his favorite stool

Where he carved his first muse

He studies the jukebox

Though he knows every song

He's reminded of the days

When an old passerby

Might see him singing along

In spite of it all

We did okay

And there's shittier lots in life

I'd have to say

We take our last breath here on earth

In spite of it all

He shoots his fine whiskey

With a wry stubbled grin

When you're haggard and worn

To sip or to shoot

What's the difference in the end

A tattered old journal

Another rhyme another sin

Here he goes again

Standing on the edge

Waiting for the wind

In spite of it all

We did okay

And there's shittier lots in life

I'd have to say

We take our last breath here on earth

In spite of it all

The skin takes a scar

The wrinkle remains

To mark all the happiness

Sorrow and shame

In spite of it all

We did okay

And there's shittier lots in life

I'd have to say

We take our last breath here on earth

In spite of it all

In spite of it all

We did okay

And there's shittier lots in life

I'd have to say

We take our last breath here on earth

In spite of it all

In spite of it all

In spite of it all

In spite of it all

In spite of it all

In spite of it all

In spite of it all
