lyrics
The fire engine's screaming all down St. Mary Street
I'm drunk and wasted once again, I got no one to meet
Sidewalk prophecies on the wall
The sun ain't good for nothing with all that smoke in its face
She left her clothes here, she'll be back at my place
Sometime soon, maybe next fall
I broke all the windows now the wind won't go away
Got a Vegas streak in me but no one left to play
It's quiet now I can even hear the mold in her closet
I could drop five figures in less than a week
I could live it up downtown where the floor don't creak
Ain't no money to make no deposit
Took the bus to your place, hoped to find you here
So many problems, not enough beer
And I had nothing better to do than stand up right here play guitar and sing to you
I'm drunk and wasted once again, I got no one to meet
Sidewalk prophecies on the wall
The sun ain't good for nothing with all that smoke in its face
She left her clothes here, she'll be back at my place
Sometime soon, maybe next fall
I broke all the windows now the wind won't go away
Got a Vegas streak in me but no one left to play
It's quiet now I can even hear the mold in her closet
I could drop five figures in less than a week
I could live it up downtown where the floor don't creak
Ain't no money to make no deposit
Took the bus to your place, hoped to find you here
So many problems, not enough beer
And I had nothing better to do than stand up right here play guitar and sing to you
