When I got the news today I didn't know what to say So I just hung up the phone I took a walk to clear my head This is where the walkin' lead Can't believe you're really gone Don't feel like goin' home So I'm gonna sit right here On the edge of this pier And watch the sunset disappear And drink a beer Funny how the good ones go Too soon, but the good Lord knows The reasons why I guess Sometimes the greater plan Is kinda hard to understand Right now it don't make sense I can't make it all make sense So I'm gonna sit right here On the edge of this pier Watch the sunset disappear And drink a beer So long my friend Until we meet again I'll remember you And all the times that we used to Sit right here On the edge of this pier And watch the sunset disappear And drink a beer Drink a beer Drink a beer, yeah, yeah

You sold me right up the river You had to hold me back You could've looked for the sunshine, yeah But you had to paint the whole thing black Now I'm back in the city The lights are up on me They tried to keep me locked away But hallelujah I feel free All your darkness has come back to you in time Brace yourself world, it's about to blow your mind It's coming round like a shockwave, hey It's coming round like a shockwave, hey You've played the game one too many times You're gonna burn until you behave, hey Maybe the shame will open your eyes It's coming round like a shockwave You made your bed all pretty You reap what you sow Backstabbed all your friends And yes it's all about who you know So don't you dare look my way To try to make you cry I don't have to do a thing for you 'Cause it's coming from the starry sky All your darkness has come back to you in time Brace yourself world, it's about to blow your mind It's coming round like a shockwave, hey It's coming round like a shockwave, hey You've played the game one too many times You're gonna burn until you behave, hey Maybe the shame will open your eyes It's coming round like a shockwave, hey You're a snake, you're a weasel You're a tadpole in the sea And the pain you feel Is washing over me It's coming round like a shockwave, hey It's coming round like a shockwave, hey You've played to the game one too many times You're gonna burn until you behave, hey Maybe the shame will open your eyes Maybe the shame will open your eyes Maybe the shame will open your eyes It's coming round like a shockwave

It was easier to have fun back when we had nothing Nothing much to manage Back when we were damaged Sometimes the freedom we wanted feels so uncool Just clean the pool And send the kids to school But oh, I remember how you used to shine, back then You went down so easy like a glass of wine, my friend When the dawn came up you felt so inspired to do it again But it turns out you only get to do it once I think it's true what they say that the dream is borrowed You give it back tomorrow Minus the sorrow And the pain she just comes in to break up the daydream And I felt his waving To keep from feeling the same thing But oh, I remember how you used to shine, back then You went down so easy like a glass of wine, my friend When the dawn came up you felt so inspired to do it again But it turns out you only get to do it once You only get to do it once You only get to do it once You only get to do it once But oh, I remember how you used to shine, back then You went down so easy like a glass of wine, my friend When the dawn came up you felt so inspired to do it again But you were wrong, you only get to do it once

Three sheets on whiskey and quarter jukebox spins Spendin all my money in this dive I been livin in Eight balls, last call before we turn on the lights Another round, or are you doing alright? No I ain't doin' alright I'm going crazy Wanna throw this glass through the wall I can't help thinkin' Who she's with, is it all my fault? I'm a wreck and a mess got nothing left to lose But I lie and say "I'm fine" How bout you? Six weeks since we gave in and called it off Yeah, moving on shouldn't take this long I know, I said We would still be friends But to the hell with it What I really meant is... I'm going crazy Wanna throw this glass through the wall I can't help thinkin' Who she's with, is it all my fault? I'm a wreck and a mess got nothing left to lose But I lie and say "I'm fine" How bout you? How bout you? Your face, my phone Somewhere bout 3 AM Askin', "How I been?" I'm going crazy Wanna throw this glass through the wall I can't help thinkin' Who she's with, is it all my fault? I'm a wreck and a mess got nothing left to lose But I lie and say "I'm fine" How bout you? Yeah, I just lie and say "I'm fine" How bout you? How bout you?

There's boots like mine On the billboard by the highway, exit 209 All the signs point down to Broadway if you want that shine For a pretty dime then you can buy Boots like mine Ain't the kind my daddy still wears down on the line His old steel town steel toe pair built for overtime And extra miles blue collar style Raise it up, whatever you get high on Here's to leather and laced up nylon Rubber soles under old work benches Caked up treads in the trenches Raise it up, like a lighter in the sky salute To the shoes that paved a hard road through The dust, the mud, the blood The ones who paid the price For boots like mine Boots like mine In the second bedroom down the hall where a mother lies Waiting on a phone call from a satellite On the front lines where her baby wears a different kind Raise it up, whatever you get high on Here's to leather and laced up nylon Rubber soles under old work benches Caked up treads in the trenches Raise it up, like a lighter in the sky salute To the shoes that paved a hard road through The dust, the mud, the blood The ones who paid the price For boots like mine
