Billy Ringo always said that fish don't bite |
|
You get a break to save my life |
|
You get a break for all my life |
|
Fell out the window with the glass bong in his hand |
|
On the ground he didn't land, on his back with the smoking in his hand |
|
Billy Ringo said he nearly crashed his car |
|
On the winding roads not far from the house he used to live in |
|
Said he fell in the ties living off the baby |
|
But he pulled it out in time and then made it home by 5 |
|
And he said |
|
I'm only looking for the second above level |
|
A bullshit |
|
I can live with, some things gotta give |
|
And I never could stand that son of a bitch there in the mirror |
|
Starring back at me,starring back at me |
|
Billy Ringo liked to play his music loud |
|
Said he never was allowed |
|
To become the things he said that he was |
|
Destined for the nights drinking at the bar |
|
Talking about a shining star |
|
And impended enclave |
|
He said I'm only looking for the second above level |
|
A bullshit |
|
I can live with, some things gotta give |
|
And if I wrote it in a movie it will all be differently |
|
And would be better than the truth |
|
Better than the truth |
|
And last time |
|
I saw Billy he was drinking at the bad |
|
We went out and made some small talk he invited me over |
|
And he started giving me all the paintings on his wall |
|
Said he wanted me to have them but he wouldn't say what for |
|
And if I wrote it in a movie |
|
It would end there on the ground |
|
Like I said there in the first verse |
|
That's how he would be found |
|
I would spare the movie goers all the bitter sad details |
|
Better than the truth |
|
I would spare the movie goers all the bitter sad details |
|
Better than the truth |
