Wishbones

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Day after day after Trying to understand Why the world tries to grind you down Makes a ghost out of a man Your debt of grace is due You've pawned everything you own I guess some dreams just don't come true Nothin' left but skin and wishbones [Verse 2] Each year the world gets lonelier And uglier with sin You'll never see those blue skies Through young eyes again You've prayed to every god you know Just to wind up all alone Your friends are gone, your mama's dead Nothin' left but skin and wishbones [Chorus] Spin the bottle cap Throw a shot back Everything's gonna be all right Spin the bottle cap Throw a shot back Cough and cry, lay down and die [Post-Chorus] Grab an end and hold on tight Bottles and bones in the night You'll never go back home You old wishbone [Instrumental] [Verse 3] Can't eat, can't sleep, can't think Not knowing where to go This is real life, brother This ain't no reality show If suffering is human Well, at least you're not alone You'll survive on next to nothing But you won't live on skin and wishbones [Chorus] Spin the bottle cap Throw a shot back Everything's gonna be all right Spin the bottle cap Throw a shot back Cough and cry, lay down and die Wish upon a star tonight Everything's gonna be alright Spin the bottle cap Throw a shot back Cough and cry, lay down and die [Post-Chorus] Grab an end and hold on tight Bottles and bones in the night You'll never go back home You old wishbone Grab an end and hold on tight Bottles and bones in the night You'll never go back home You old wishbone
