Lyrics
My baby told me, "You gotta get better if you ever wanna win"
And I know that she's not getting any better man, she just sins
I still love her, 'cause I know I was once there wearing them shoes
I'm still hurting 'cause the woman I love, is giving me the blues
I'm sitting here sober, but I wonder what shape she'll find me in
I need her under my skin like a junkie needs heroin
And I'm never going back to Snake n' Jake's
The amount of money I spent, I could've bought the place
Not to mention that they know my face
Now it's hell getting out the place
So I'm walking the streets tonight
I'm catching some fireflies
Someone said that I'm living a lie
But no more today, no more tonight
You could say that I'm under the gun
Nine million miles away from the sun
I've hesitated much too long
But I'm still having fun, hope you're having fun
Belly up in an ambulance, I spent Sunday making doctor friends
I could've used a pair of deep hands
I hope that made you laugh, 'cause you know I'm a gentleman
Heaven found me living, didn't find me dead
Got a permanent ash mark on my forehead
But it still couldn't save me from lying in bed
Staring at your clothes in the closet while I was out of my head
So I'm walking the streets tonight
I'm catching some fireflies
Some would say that I'm living a lie
But no more today, no more tonight
And you could say that I'm under the gun
Nine million miles away from the sun
I've hesitated much too long
But I'm still having fun, hope you're having fun, yeah
I'm a peaceful man today
Ain't got no more weekend wars to wage
So give me one more shot babe, shot babe
Well, I'm a peaceful man today
Ain't got no more weekend wars to wage
So give me one more shot babe, shot babe, shot babe
