lyrics

When the ashtray is overflowing
And the bottle, West Texas dry
Well that mirror on the back wall
It gets to staring back at me with judging eyes

And that neon it don't shine quite as bright now
Trying to recall how I got here
Please somebody go tell my baby
I done wrecked myself on cigarettes and beer

And the truth is, she ain't gon' be happy
When she hears of the shape that I am in
But she's the only thing in this world can stop me
From dying on this tilt-a-whirl of sin

And that neon it don't shine quite as bright now
Trying to recall how I got here
Please somebody go tell my baby
I done wrecked myself on cigarettes and beer

And I long for redemption
Clarity and universal truth
A better man than you see on this barstool
But right now I'm just trying to get through

And that neon it don't shine quite as bright now
Trying to recall how I got here
Please somebody go tell my baby
I done wrecked myself on cigarettes and beer
