Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I used to be your favorite drunk
Good for one more laugh
Then we both ran outta luck
Luck was all we ever had
You put on a uniform
To fight the Civil War
You looked so good, I didn't care
What side you were fightin' for
[Verse 2]
Wasn't all that easy
When you up and walked away
But I'll save that little story
For another rainy day
I know the burden's heavy
As you will it through the night
Some people say it's empty
But that don't mean it's light
[Verse 3]
You left me with the dishes
And a baby in the bath
You're tight with the militias
You wear their camouflage
You always said we're equal
So let me march with you
Just an extra in the sequel
To the old red, white, and blue
[Verse 4]
Baby, don't ignore me
We were smokers, we were friends
Forget that tired story
Of betrayal and revenge
I see the ghost of culture
With numbers on his wrist
Salutes some new conclusion
That all of us have missed
[Verse 5]
I cried for you this mornin'
And I'll cry for you again
But I'm not charge of sorrow
So, please don't ask me when
There may be wine and roses
And magnums of champagne
But we'll never, no, we'll never
Ever be that drunk again
[Verse 6]
Okay
[Verse 7]
The party's over
But I landed on my feet
And I'm standin' here on this corner
Where there used to be a street
The party's over
But I've landed on my feet
I'll be standing on this corner
Where there used to be a street
So let's drink to when it's over (The party's over)
And let's drink to when we meet (But I landed on my feet)
I'll be standing on this corner (I'll be standin' on this corner)
Where there used to be a street (Where there used to be a street)
[Verse 8]
(The party's over)
(But I landed on my feet)
(I'll be standin' on this corner)
