/// Lyrics:
I woke up today with a head like a swarm of mosquitoes
They were dropping like flies getting stuck drunk in stale mojitos
And everyone I know thinks I’m asleep behind the wheel
But a friend behind the bar is a mighty fine deal
I hit the street with an old record skip in my stepping
They were humming along to a song by Jeffrey Frederick
I felt closer to God than I’ll ever get to heaven
I fell to my knees and I prayed to the 711
Grant me the serenity to pay for this in change
And the courage to give with what I can
Goddamn!
Grant me the wisdom to know I owe the difference
Amen
I put the pedal to the metal, but I might as well cut the break line
I was buzzing around with a stomach ache taking its sweet time
And from 6 to 8, we’ll be playing all night
We’re on a twelve-step program, one two-step at a time
Grant me the serenity to pay for this in change
And the courage to give with what I can
Goddamn!
Grant me the wisdom to know I owe the difference
Amen
The sun set swollen like the Devil’s nose blowing his brains out
It was dripping off the sky filling up a cup I had left out
So I sat on the porch just to watch that sunset rain down
Then I crossed my chest and I laid my head on the ground
I woke up today with a head like a swarm of mosquitoes
They were dropping like flies getting stuck drunk in stale mojitos
And everyone I know thinks I’m asleep behind the wheel
But a friend behind the bar is a mighty fine deal
Grant me the serenity to pay for this in change
And the courage to give with what I can
Goddamn!
Grant me the wisdom to know I owe the difference
Amen
