Buffalo Tom - Register Side Lyrics
Well, I compare you twoYou've got the same toothy grinAnd a penchant for dramatic endsSee the harbor lightsHis five brothers down thereFrom the salty bay back home againHe went from one ball and chainHis whole life down the drainWith a widow in his wakeWhen he got back homeHe took the first job he foundHow much can one man take?And he measured his breathAs he pocketed his prideAnd he quietly watched life go byFrom the register sideWell, he drove down to the shoreBut he can't see her no moreHe bought a bottle of red wineHe wasn't guilty thenAnd he's not guilty nowOf killing anything but timeAnd he measured his breathAs he pocketed his prideAnd he quietly watched life go byFrom the register sideYeah you can waste your whole lifeFrom the register sideIt's about the in betweens and all the grief that you getIt's about the in betweens and you're not dead yetIt's about the in betweens and you can lie to yourselfIt's about the in betweensIt's about the in betweens and all the grief that you getIt's about the in betweens and you're not dead yetIt's about the in betweens and you can lie to yourselfIt's about the in betweensAnd he measured his breathAs he pocketed his prideAnd he quietly watched life go byFrom the register sideAnd he quietly watched life go byFrom the register sideAnd he quietly watched his life
