I been kicked out of every bar in Texas.
Some they even kicked me out of twice.
Said, "Son, you got a drinkin problem."
I said, "No, I got a fever for life."
Got kicked out of that old dirty basement.
They caught me fallin up the stairs.
Said, "Son, you've had one too many."
I said, "I know. I've known that shit for years."
They said, "Well come on back tomorrow.
Come back but this time play nice."
I said, "I'm sorry it was only circumstance."
And they said, "Just don't do that shit again."
Been kicked out of every bar in Denton.
Some they did not have a reason for.
I sat down and had a couple PBRs,
they shoved me right out of the door.
Got kicked out of that restaurant on the corner,
said I couldn't order beer in threes.
I paid my tab and then I left and, boy I'll tell you what...
I'm never goin back to Applebee's.
They said, "Well come on back tomorrow.
Come back but this time play nice."
I said, "I'm sorry it was only circumstance."
And they said, "Just don't do that shit again."
Well go one and kick me out again.
Go on and kick me out again.

I came from beneath the sea.
You claimed you would grow fins for me.
I can't believe you. You can't even swim.
I won't believe you. You can't even backstroke back to shore
and if you did, I'd be sure to tell my friends
that you're a swimmer,
not sinking in the sea.
You said, "Creature, get back to your lagoon.
You came up on land too soon."
Well, fuck you. Yeah, that's just what I'll do.
And then forget you. I know you'll do it too.
We will just take each other's hands
and just lay there in the sand
and if you think you might be drowning,
start flailing for the coastline.
Start flailing for the shore.
I went back beneath the sea.
I knew you would not grow old with me.
I don't like it much beneath the sea
anymore.

For Some Reason

Though I'm aware when I step from the front door a meteor could rocket through my skull. I'd crumple up just like a dummy, but I guarantee no laughs from anybody. But god, you guys should. It's a pretty funny way to go. Back.
Leaving here, I can't say that I'm sorry.
Leaving here, I won't say that I'm sorry.

*butt-rock intro*
PSYCHE!
I chase my whiskey with whiskey since she left me.
Smoke a pack a day on Sundays I smoke two.
Cryin in my truck after the service.
Good lord what am I supposed to do?
I drink a Lonestar in the shower in the mornin.
Try to jerk off thinkin bout he girl next door.
But then your face pops up right where her's was
and, lord, I can't go on anymore.
Though that whiskey drink it won't kill me,
surely the whiskey-back will.
When I get that lowdown lonesome feelin,
good lord, it ain't not way to feel.
Sure ain't boy!
I drink that whiskey with my cornflakes in the mornin.
Hell, I put it on my cornflakes too.
Though I might be dead before dinner,
Oh good lord it sure beats feelin blue.
I chase my whiskey with whiskey since she left me.
Been sippin on that good ol stuff for years.
When I think about my lost angel...
Oh good lord, that whiskey stops the tears.

Ringers

It appears, then it slips right through my fingers. It started to get colder when you left. I got scared, so I walked down to Ringers. They were closed so I walked around alone.
Last year was so miserable. This winter, please don't come too soon. You always come too soon.
In a haze I made it through September. Waiting round for all the leaves to fall. I was dazed, I really can't remember why I thought I had to give it all.
Last year was so miserable. This winter, please don't come too soon. But if you do, just know how hard it gets.
All alone I sat down to dinner, wondering why nobody ever calls. While deep down a void I could not render was forcing all the love inside to stall.
This year won't be miserable. This winter I will be prepared. But just know that if I don't succeed, I did the best I could. I did the best I could.

On Not Looking Back

And to think I said I wouldn't glance there again.
Today is the day that I miss you.
It was raining out back at work and I missed you.
What was it?
Too hard to spot then avoid.
It's too exhausting to the eyelids to juggle what is with what was.
A year ago today I woke up and thanked you.
A year ago today I woke up with you there. And I thanked you.
I stood in the kitchen with sun up, one year ago today.
But the thunder starts again.
When the drizzle slightens
and your face fades in the mist
and I miss you when it rains.
O I sure do.

I was walking down the boulevard, it was a rainy winter night.
I imagined that damp gloom reflected into my heart, endlessly.
I'd seen all of those movies, I'd seen every stupid play.
I tried to write my book, but I kept using your name.
You got me singing:
You've got to be the only one.
I got you to my room, I could not believe you were there.
For days after you left your ghost sat in that chair.
Why are you with that man, can't you see he doesn't care?
Why did I not meet you first? Oh, it just isn't fair.
I been singing:
You've got to be the only one
You've got to be the only one or else it's no fun.
Why'd I waste all my precious little time?
And why was it so hard just for you to be mine?
I don't know... I don't know.
I thirsted after you, I needed you.
You've got to be the only one.
