Rattlesnake mornin'
The ceilin' fan's a buzzin'
There's a fly up on my face
I'm too sick to move a muscle
And the shower's in the next room
Feels like a mile away!
Oh, God today's the thirty-first
I've gotta get the waterbill paid
I bought a '67 Lincoln
Suicide doors
Got that posi-trac transmission
Four on the floor
I'm gonna hook up to the war horse
Enter in the U.P.R.A.
I ain't a roper by no means
But I gotta get the waterbill paid
I'm on high hopes
You ain't livin' 'less
You're livin' life broke
Workin' on high hopes
Too late, too long
Just party through the pain and carry on
I broke an axle in Bandera
Nearly lost the trailer
I mechanic on the side
But rarely turns out right
I'd call some help if I could see straight
Looks like I'm sleepin' here tonight
But this is mountain lion country
And I hear they love a redhead delight
I'm on high hopes
You ain't livin' 'less
You're livin' life broke
Workin' on high hopes
Too late, too long
Just party through the pain and carry on
I'm on high hopes
You ain't livin' 'less
You're livin' life broke
Workin' on high hopes
Too late, too long
Just party through the pain and carry on
