Intro/Verses/Chorus:
Blue collar Eddie and his better half Deloris
Used to be mantle pieces down at the black forest
And I dont know if that bar still exists
But when it did so did they a couple bleeding heart kids
Everything volatile, every night rocker style
Hop a stool be discreet and just watch a while
But do your best to keep the level observational
Drama is attractive so push it when it takes a pull
And each nights are random, when youve paid a ransom
For the right sing along with them drinkin anthems
And these fools paid so many dues that everybody stops to salute
Well one night after another fight,
A couple from an opposite table offered an invite
Deloris didnt want to join em wasnt feelin social
But Eddie was so aggravated that he had to poke holes
He walked over sat in the dialogue
And called at Deloris like some kind of dog (hey hey hey hey girl come here)
She cant believe it shes done shes had it
But she doesnt want to make another scene in this establishment
She got up and mozied over, and put her arm up around Eddies shoulder
Nobodys sober, the song is the same,
Sometimes you stick out your chin to catch the rain
(Same as verses)
The clock keeps drinkin, they keep tickin
Theres two more people who get to play positions
Samantha and Chuck not a couple just roommates
Out having too many shots on a Tuesday
Who knew theyd be tools for the duo
Put a little bit of fire on the fuel
Its a kinda blue intentions aint cruel
But everybodys so ready to bend up the rules
Now theres chuck staring at Deloris,
Eddie is distracted by Samantha so he doesnt notice
And everybodys too fucked up
To even assess the mess, much less care enough
More whiskey, a pitcher of premium,
Eddies gettin tipsy he didnt see it commin
On his way back from a visit with that urinal,
Tryin to straitin out his thoughts and the vertigo
Weaves through stops when he seen em
Picture perfect, it looked just like freedom
Deloris on chucks lap kissin em hard,
Eddie dipped into the winter, left them all at the bar
Sometimes you gotta follow whats felt inside,
Between the power struggles and selfish pride
No one is allowed to cry unfair
Cause now they both get to drink alone somewhere
You can be winner you can be a loser
Gotta wake up when you here the rooster
Sometimes its just too simple to live your life wrong
Gotta do right for you when the time come
