As lonely as the days are long
As dark as the night bird's song
This strange way of living has bled my heart dry
I'm lonesome but too stoned to cry

My clothes are all ragged and worn
Like a sailor that's caught in the worst kind of storm
The water keeps rising, oh, but I'm getting by
I keep walking but I'm too stoned to fly

There's whiskey and wine and pills for the pain
Fast, easy women and a little cocaine
I'm walking the line between hellbent and high
I ain't happy, just too stoned to cry

Now I'm living from town to town
I've always been lost, I ain't ever been found
They said Jesus could save me, that was a lie
I keep trying but I'm too stoned to die
I keep trying but I'm too stoned to die

There's whiskey and wine and pills for the pain
Fast, easy women and a little cocaine
I'm walking the line between hell bent and high
I ain't happy, I'm just too stoned to cry
No, I ain't happy, I'm just too stoned to cry
