Lyrics
I think I was born, fifty years too late
Some kinda joke, or a cruel twist of fate
I don't care to fit in, with today's in crowd
They're all too flashy, they're all way too loud
Chorus:
I'm just a drunk on a stool, A modern day fool
Hard to play it cool, When you're the drunk on a stool
Always thought I would make, something of myself
A few feet from fame, a couple zeroes from wealth
They all said I had talent, they all said I'd go far
But the only place I went, was downtown to this bar
Repeat Chorus
Had a big group of friends, but now it's just me
I guess they got tired, of making believe
That I'd straighten up, care about my health
Put that ol' bottle, back up on that shelf
Repeat Chorus
Everybody be cool, I'm just a drunk on a stool
