lyrics
I wish I was a happy drunk
but I'm mean as hell and I don't know why
tennessee, I feel the click and then I seem to lose my mind
Black as a moonless night
Rage for the hopeless fight
the battle for a false position
will create a worn condition
I wish I was a happy drunk
but I'm mean as hell and I don't know why
old writer, you do simplify and still I tried to hold the line
Jake, I thought when I was young
Brett is not the only one
but I can't choose the love I find
true love is the only kind
there are better days
and there are days that can kill
nights that satisfy
with no particular thrill
when the morning comes
like it always will
I'll take whatever I've learned
and leave the past down the hill
and I'll never pursue, a love that's not true
there are better days
and there are days that can kill
nights that satisfy
with no particular thrill
when the morning comes
like it always will
I'll take what I've learned
and leave the past down the hill
and I'll never pursue, a love that's not true
I wish I was a happy drunk
but I'm mean as hell and I don't know why
cassidy, my honesty was lost but I don't want to meet your end
there's somethin to the easy road
suit your needs and nothing more
choices made to bluff contrition
will confuse the expedition
I was sure I'd get away with this lie
just till the day that I die
she had all a man needs
but love wasn't to be
and I drank my way out of her life
but I'm mean as hell and I don't know why
tennessee, I feel the click and then I seem to lose my mind
Black as a moonless night
Rage for the hopeless fight
the battle for a false position
will create a worn condition
I wish I was a happy drunk
but I'm mean as hell and I don't know why
old writer, you do simplify and still I tried to hold the line
Jake, I thought when I was young
Brett is not the only one
but I can't choose the love I find
true love is the only kind
there are better days
and there are days that can kill
nights that satisfy
with no particular thrill
when the morning comes
like it always will
I'll take whatever I've learned
and leave the past down the hill
and I'll never pursue, a love that's not true
there are better days
and there are days that can kill
nights that satisfy
with no particular thrill
when the morning comes
like it always will
I'll take what I've learned
and leave the past down the hill
and I'll never pursue, a love that's not true
I wish I was a happy drunk
but I'm mean as hell and I don't know why
cassidy, my honesty was lost but I don't want to meet your end
there's somethin to the easy road
suit your needs and nothing more
choices made to bluff contrition
will confuse the expedition
I was sure I'd get away with this lie
just till the day that I die
she had all a man needs
but love wasn't to be
and I drank my way out of her life
