Slacker in the Rye

Lyrics

Pacing outside in my new clothes Kicking bald tires with my steel toes Rancho Bar's not open yet So let's torch a couple heaters around the fire pit Make that call when the summer ends Burn that bridge when I come to it Let's kick this night into high gear Get another round for my boys here [Chorus] You know, I haven't done much with a lot I've been given Treat you like a crutch and a lover and a living I'm still sleeping, and I say I'll be a minute You're still talking, and I ask you if you're finished And you're not, but I want You to stop, you forgot That you never had to choose Between losing me and finally breaking through I haven't done much, but I did it for you [Verse 2] Your new shit sounds kind of watered down I cashed in before you bottomed out Blacked out at Mickey's, haven't seen you since But I heard you had my back with your new friends Remember that night at Salt Lake? A couple hundred screenagers rushing the stage Felt like a rat in a lab maze All I ever cared about was keeping you safe [Chorus] You know, I haven't done much with a lot I've been given Treat you like a crutch and a lover and a living I'm still sleeping, and I say I'll be a minute You're still talking, and I ask you if you're finished And you're not, but I want You to stop, you forgot That you never had to choose Between losing me and finally breaking through I haven't done much, but I did it for you [Bridge] You must be tired of the rise and grind You never did know where to draw the line Except when it came to you and me We had a couple good years, though, didn't we? [Chorus] You know, I haven't done much with a lot I've been given Treat you like a crutch and a lover and a living I'm still sleeping, and I say I'll be a minute You're still talking, and I ask you if you're finished And you're not, but I want You to stop, you forgot That you never had to choose Between losing me and finally breaking through I haven't done much, but I did it for you
