lyrics

ANOTHER SHITASS NIGHT (ON THE SUNNY SIDE OF LIFE)

Everybody’s burning rubber on the high road when they wake up in the morning
Everybody’s blowing by me in the summer with the world to lose
Me I’m stranded here somewhere between the sunny side of life and California
With a blown-out set of Firestones and a broken pair of buckle shoes

Everybody’s anybody always tells me that they going up the country – whoa
Everybody’s anybody always got a lucky place to fly and a fancy ride
No no brother not I
My wishing well’s run dry
Another shitass night on the sunny side of life

Well my mama always told me there’d be golden waiting for me in the morning
Just dream prospector dreams and pay your dues
But the shining silver lining dulls with all my nickel-diming Dollar-Storing
And the Gold Rush turned up nothing but the Blues

Well I say my prayers and light my little candle most every night – whoa
They tell me when I’m flying off the handle just hold on tight, just let it slide
Well that just don’t feel right
Ain't no safety net in sight
Another shitass night on the sunny side of life

Everybody’s anybody always tells me that they going up the country – whoa
Everybody’s anybody always got a lucky place to fly and a fancy ride
No no brother not I
My wishing well’s run dry
Another shitass night on the sunny side

Well I know my sunny future’s somewhere up there fuming on that highway
I know the train-a-coming’s more than just a faint mirage
There’s a hundred ways to run the money and I’m gonna do it my way
If I can only get my engine, only get my engine outa this locked garage

Everybody’s anybody’s always tells me that they going up the country – whoa
Everybody’s anybody always got a lucky place to fly and a fancy ride
No no brother not I
My wishing well’s run dry
Another shitass night on the sunny side
Another crapshoot lonely roll of the loaded dice – whoa
Another lucky silver bullet right between the eyes – gets me every time
Another shitass night on the sunny side of life
