Johnny Mainstream - Cheap Guitars Lyrics
We checked in a ten o'clock, a hotel bar and whiskey shotsYou told me about your drug habit and the year the fire went outI said "i sing songs about nothing in a chorus line of bathtub gin"And wished that i could be the one who's music could inspireBut why are you here all alone on stupid earth?Why don't you sing the song if you know all the words?I fell out at twenty one, the year that i gave up on loveI still believe that it exists, just not for everyoneSo i learned to keep myself separate and leave bad thoughts inside my headBut never trust a man who says he ain't got no regretsSo why am i still here alone on stupid earth?Why don't i fix the breach if i know what will work?All my favorite writers were drunks who frequent barsAnd all my favorite songs start out on old beat up guitarsAll my favorite nights started with whiskey from a wellAnd i really think you're pretty cool but you're not worth top shelfComing home real late from our last showAnd i know exactly what a hard right turn will doI was twenty two when i wrote my last linesAnd everything since then has been a lieI was told i was a poet but the ink has run outI have no words of wisdom of what to do nowExcept: everybody dies an old man full of regretsExcept: the ones who go young in fiery auto wrecksAll my favorite writers were drunks who died too youngAnd all my favorite songs come from all my friends at rock bottomAll my favorite nights started with whiskey from a wellAnd i really think you're pretty cool but you're not worth top shelf
