Well, a person can work up a mean, mean thirst After a hard day of nothing much at all The summer's past, it's too late to cut the gra** There ain't much to rake anyway in the fall Sometimes I just ain't in the mood To take my place in back with the loudmouths You're like a picture on a fridge that's never stocked with food I used to live at home, now I stay at the house And everybody wants to be special here They call your name out loud and clear Here comes a regular Call out your name Here comes a regular Am I the only one here today? Well, a drinking buddy that's bound to another town Once the police came and took you away And even if you're in the arms of someone's baby now
I'll take a great big whiskey to you anyway And everybody wants to be someone's here Someone's gonna show up, never fear Here comes a regular Call out your name Here comes a regular Am I the only one here today? Kneeling alongside old Sad Eyes He says opportunity knocks once, then the door slams shut All I know is I'm sick of everything that my money can buy A fool who wastes his life, God rest his guts First the lights, then the collar goes up, and the wind begins to blow Turn your back on a pay-you-back last call First the gla**, then leaves that pa**, then comes the snow Ain't much to rake anyway in the fall
