Stay Down

Micheladas in the afternoon

Lie on the couch in a rented room

Watchin' Jeopardy without the sound

It's easy to stay down

Cook mistakes and long goodbyes

All of the truths and necessary lies

I caught a train that was backwards bound

It's easy to stay down

Stay down till your mind has been cleared

And your train can be found

Stay down with your eye to the sky

And your ear to the ground

Down by the pool with all my brand new friends

Rewritin' letters that I'll never send

Declinin' invitations into town

It's easy to stay down

Slowly admit that you have had your fun

The girl you loved in every word you sung

All the profane that you thought profound

It's time now to stay down

Stay down till the smoke has been cleared

And your name can be found

Stay down with your head in the clouds

And your eyes to the ground

Feel the sting of the final blow

What coulda been, you don't care, oh, no

Don't try to go another round

Stay down
