  persuaded  paraded  inebriated  in  doubt
  still aware  of everything
  life carries  on without
  but theres one  too many faces
  with dollar  sign smiles
  I've gotta find  the shortest  path
  to the bar  for awhile
  (chorus) a  long way  from happiness
  in a three  hour  away town
  whiskey bottle  over jesus
  not forever  just  for now
  not forever  just  for now
  well theres a trouble  around
  its never  far away
  the same troubles  been around
  for a life  and a day
  now I can't  forget the sound
  cause its here  to stay
  the sound of people  chasing money
  and money  getting away
  (play chorus again)
  in between  the dirt  and disgust  there must  be
  some air  to breathe
  and something  to believe
  liquor  and guns  the sign  says quite plain
  somehow life  goes on
  in a place  so insane
  (play chorus again)
