I've got regret, soul debt
Gotta get one hit
Sunlit, unfit
Still owe my alma matter
Nightmare, slow throwin' haymakers underwater
Gotta get my head right
Love you, goodnight
Gotta get cleaned up
Pressed up, dressed up
Sun down comes around
Find me with my head down
Toes turned in with my hands in my pockets
Like a present day hesitatin' Huckleberry Finn

So I sneak out, peace out
Peek out the curtains of a blacked out bedroom
Passed out cartoon version of a person
With a whole herd of sheep
Just floatin' in a circle with some capital Z's

Never find me waiting kindly
For someone to come remind me
Why I struggle so
Well, it's all for the love of a girl

I've got one older brother
He's a fighter and a lover
And every other day he seems to rediscover
What the underlying meaning
Of the dreaming and the scheming is
History colliding with the soul and the showbiz
Don't save much for a touchdown celebration (no, no)
Runnin' out the tunnel on a hundred foot elevation
Racin' through the scene like a drop of gasoline
Through a 427 in a Ford Galaxie

Never find me waiting patient
For someone to come explain it
Why I suffer so
Well, it's all for the love of a girl

It's a hard up, hard luck planet that we're livin' on
Heartache partaken of the blue ribbon
On most of the trails that we didn't put rails on
Showing at the funeral home with bells on
Gotta get woken up opened up all the way
Lawyer on the phone saying, "Hey I just called to say
Still two or three bills in the mail on the way
Hope ya doin' alright, hope ya had a great day"
Well, as a matter of fact
I ain't really doin' half bad
I was out running errands
From early 'til half past four
And I got a good deal on flowers at the grocery store

Never find me waiting kindly
For someone to come remind me
Why I struggle so, why I struggle so
Well, it's all for the love of a girl
