	Fire one up and you toss one down
	Everybody knows you been downtown
	Been downtown late last night
	Busted your head in a barroom fight
	Fightin’ with your brother fightin’ with your wife
	Seems you been fightin’ every day of your life
	Can’t stand still, still can’t run
	You put it all together but it came undone
	Your soul is junk, your brain is dust
	All your memories are eaten up with rust
	Your nightmares real, dreams too stark
	You love the night but you hate the dark
	Your mother your daddy little sister too
	Told you a secret they were countin’ on you
	You were dying to tell but your dad said son
	Button your lip but it come undone
	So they turned you out when you turned them in
	They told you don’t come back again
	Now the years stack up like old beer cans
	Dead end jobs payment plans
	Broke down trucks welfare checks
	Child support and back-seat sex
	You’d kill yourself but you hocked your gun
	You built a noose but it come undone
	So you’re livin’ in a shack bu you wanna be rich
	And you would if it wasn’t for the sonovabitch
	The sonovabitch the dirty old whore
	The butcher the baker the grocery store
	You hate them they hate you
	What in the world are you gonna do
	It ain’t your fault but they need someone
	To blame it on when they come undone
	Now the storm’s comin’ in the sky’s turned black
	It’s too late now you can’t turn back
	Lightnin’ strikes on the telephone wire
	You’re drunk as a skunk your shack’s on fire
	The wife took the baby and the other two kids
	The dogs are a-howlin’ and the chickens are dead
	It’s your last night out and you’re gonna have fun
	They’ll read it in the papers when you come undone

	Fire one up and you toss one down
	Everybody knows you been downtown
	Been downtown late last night
	Busted your head in a barroom fight
	Fightin' with your brother fightin' with your wife
	Seems you been fightin' every day of your life
	Can' t stand still, still can' t run
	You put it all together but it came undone
	Your soul is junk, your brain is dust
	All your memories are eaten up with rust
	Your nightmares real, dreams too stark
	You love the night but you hate the dark
	Your mother your daddy little sister too
	Told you a secret they were countin' on you
	You were dying to tell but your dad said son
	Button your lip but it come undone
	So they turned you out when you turned them in
	They told you don' t come back again
	Now the years stack up like old beer cans
	Dead end jobs payment plans
	Broke down trucks welfare checks
	Child support and backseat sex
	You' d kill yourself but you hocked your gun
	You built a noose but it come undone
	So you' re livin' in a shack bu you wanna be rich
	And you would if it wasn' t for the sonovabitch
	The sonovabitch the dirty old whore
	The butcher the baker the grocery store
	You hate them they hate you
	What in the world are you gonna do
	It ain' t your fault but they need someone
	To blame it on when they come undone
	Now the storm' s comin' in the sky' s turned black
	It' s too late now you can' t turn back
	Lightnin' strikes on the telephone wire
	You' re drunk as a skunk your shack' s on fire
	The wife took the baby and the other two kids
	The dogs are ahowlin' and the chickens are dead
	It' s your last night out and you' re gonna have fun
	They' ll read it in the papers when you come undone

	Fire one up and you toss one down
	Everybody knows you been downtown

	Busted your head in a barroom fight
	Fightin' with your brother fightin' with your wife
	Seems you been fightin' every day of your life
