Lyrics

[Verse 1] My baby told me You gotta get better if you ever wanna win And I know that She's not gettin' any better man, she just sin I still love her 'Cause I know I was once there wearin' them shoes I'm still hurtin' 'Cause the woman I love's givin' me the blues [Verse 2] I'm sittin' here sober But I wonder what shape she'll find me in I need her under my skin Like a junkie needs heroin And I'm never going back to Snake n' Jakes The amount of money I spent I could've bought the place Not to mention that they know my face Now it's hell getting out the place [Chorus] So I'm walking the streets tonight I'm catchin' some fireflies Some would say that I'm livin' a lie But no more today, no more tonight You could say that I'm under the gun Nine million miles away from the sun I've hesitated much too long But still havin' fun, hope you're havin' fun [Verse 3] Belly up in an ambulance I spent Sunday makin' doctor friends I could've used a pair of Depends I hope that made you laugh 'cause you know I'm a gentlemen Heaven found me livin' didn't find me dead Got a permanent ash mark on my forehead But it still couldn't save me from lyin' in bed Staring at your clothes in the closet while I was out of my head [Chorus] So I'm walkin' the streets tonight I'm catchin' some fireflies Some would say that I'm living a lie But no more today, no more tonight You could say that I'm under the gun Nine million miles away from the sun I've hesitated much too long But I'm still havin' fun hope you're havin' fun [Outro] (Yeah, take it away) I'm a peaceful man today Ain't got no more weekend wars to wage So give me one more shot babe, shot babe Well I'm a peaceful man today Ain't got no more weekend wars to wage So give me one more shot babe, shot babe, shot babe
