When I think about all the things that I've been through
I should thank my lucky stars
I'm not exactly old but I'm not that young
I don't know which I've done more damage to
My liver or my heart
And I've got 16 years of this town in my lungs

I look around cause I know there's gotta be a better way
I keep moving on
You get so down
There comes a time you gotta look at yourself and say
What am I doing wrong?

I don't mind if I get strung out
If she picks me up when I'm down
I need someone to love
And I think I might need a drug
I can put my arms around

Well there ain't much that I can give to her
But rest assured I'll give it my all
It's hard to make it big when you're tryin' to make last call

I'll break my back tryin' to track down some cash and make it out
When all I need is her
She took my heart out of the can before the trash was taken out
And I owe thanks to her

I don't mind if I get strung out
If she picks me up when I'm down
I need someone to love
And I think I might need a drug
I can put my arms around

Lights out
Don't you worry, let me get the next round
No wife, no life
Just a past and some useless stripes
And the grass ain't so green over here on my side
But with her around there's a chance it'll be alright

I look around cause I know there's gotta be a better way
I keep moving on
You get so down
There comes a time you gotta look at yourself and say
What am I doing wrong?

I don't mind if I get strung out
If she picks me up when I'm down
I need someone to love
And I think I might need a drug

I don't mind if I get strung out
If she picks me up when I'm down
I need someone to love
And I think she might be the drug
I can keep my arms around
