lyrics

I've got lungs full of tar, liver full of poison
Teeth jumpin outta my head,
and if it weren't for all this singin' I don't think I'd get outta bed.

I've got a heart full of heartache, belly full of Chicken
Brain full of bad ideas
and if it weren't for all this travelin' I'd never known what was real.

Everybody's hoping they age like wine,
but corks get pulled before their time,
so crack me open and pass me 'round,
cause I'd like to be empty 'fore I go in the ground.

Can't hold down a job when you're starin' at the clock,
and your legs shake when you sit,
and if it weren't for all these habits it'd be easier just to quit.

If taxes were the foxes and money were the cattle,
and workin was the farmer's dog.
I'd be the rabbit eatin' up his carrots and livin' in a hollow log.

Old men hopin' they age like scotch,
to sit on the shelf collectin' dust
I've been sippin' off the barrel for so damn long,
by the time I hit the bottle I'll be long gone.

Rich folks hopin' they age like champagne,
the pressure alone it could drive you insane,
Me; I'll probably age like moonshine,
gone by the morning, but we had a good time.
