Lyrics

Half quart of rotgut
Full cheek of longcut
Foggy mind and blurred vision
Long list of sins

I bob to the surface
But the last time just barely
And it ain't no great mystery
I'm sinkin' again

You were always good
At fixin things when they're broken
I am the master of tearing them down

Your stride, straight strong and steady
On the Long Road to Freedom
You've covered more ground

When you get to where
You thought we were goin
Don't save me a seat
I won't make the trip

Don't take it so hard
You knew this was comin
It takes a while for denial
To loosen its grip

I don't worry much
About the dirt on the windows
There's not much out there
That I care to see

If there's any beauty left
In this world I gave up on
It'd be nothin but foolish
To waste it on me

Go on up ahead
The gates they are closin
Keep your eyes forward
Don't look back for me

Cuz when I hit the wall
You'll thread the needle
And the other side's as far away
As far can be
