Hey bartender, pour me up a double well. I need a little help breakin outta my shell.
A few dollars is a small price to pay, for the sorrows I'm drownin, right here today.
A poor mans pain disappears with a bottle but they come right back with the sunrise tomorrow,
a stain on my shirt my blood pumpin through my veins, I won''t be at ease till your outta my range, and I don't give a damn if there's a gun in your hand, you can fire it my way if it's part of your plan, but the dust will settle and the wind will blow while your greed shines through and your true colors show
I ain't runnin anymore, the shots have been fired but you haven't settled your score no
I ain't runnin anymore, the powder coats the barrel and now I'm lyin on the floor
This prolly ain't the first time the man behind the bar had to listen to the troubles of a broke down star,
but you can't complain much cause it's part of the job, dealin with the drunks, the brawlers and the slobs.
I won't find redemption at the bottom of my cup, doesn't matter anyway go ahead and fill it up, cause there's nothin left to lose when you're leakin from the chest,
if I can make it to a bed I think I need a little rest,
you got me pretty good but I still ain't dead yet, my luck is in the stars, and my story hasn't been set, I ain't afraid to die, so I'll stand my ground strong, I've been runnin from nothin just a little bit too long
