Thing of the Past (Live)

Two weeks without alcohol ain't hard if it weren't for these goddamn scars

and memories and hell it helps me sleep

I cannot focus if I don't rest and if I ain't doing nothing lord I get depressed

so here's to raising hell and living cheap

Life ain't all it's supposed to be

walking floors and worrying

behind locked doors avoiding friends you hardly see

I've live and learned and lord I made it back

I fought three at once and they whooped my ass

but living's better when taking chances constantly

I like to get high as a mountain when I'm crumbling to my knees

And all that shit they talk it don't mean a thing to me

We are all mixed in this landscape huddled in the shade

Searching chain store shelves for identity

Well if these wrinkles they are proof of age then read them all as single days

of learning who is who and what is what

See man some may show a mask or two and base their lives on having more than you

man that life must be lonely as fuck

You see that's not how it's supposed to be

lapping up commodities

with money that you don't have or even see

I've live and learned and lord I made it back

I want nothing and that's still all I have

It's not what you make or do it's how you're living

I like to get high as a mountain when I'm crumbling to my knees

And all that shit they talk it don't mean a thing to me

We are all mixed in this landscape huddled in the shade

Searching chain store shelves for identity

(Small talk that shit)

Well I'm going grey and I'm getting old but that don't mean I do what I'm told

in fact I've opted out I've given up

See man money is a thing of the past you spend it once and it don't come back

so says reverend Bobby Joe Small so that's what's up

This is not what it's supposed be

walking floors and worrying

it's about life and family and thinking free

I've been lit up before and bounced right back

made mistakes and learned to laugh

Tonight I'm getting drunk and simply living
