Verse:
I see that storm rolling in, Over that bleak skyline, It's shakin' down the streets and takin' out those power lines, 'Cause if those lines you're not a part you keep hustling for your dime, Boyo that's the way we so things here, Keep the price tag on your mind
Pre Chorus 1:
And I pass that red brick wall that I've seen all my life, And somehow it reminds me of a better place and time, Now had we lost each other somewhere along the line? The next that we see to eye to eye is gonna be a long long time
Chorus:
So bottoms up all ye Hopefuls, you know this won't be the last, When those bottles run the bone then I'll break out the flask, Mr. Bartender please oh please bring me another round, 'Cause when I get to feel like this, it's here that keeps me sound, it's sad I know. I'm afraid it's so.
Verse
Best check your fundamentals man what part was ever fun? Put that dollar in your pocket and that bullet in your gun. You damn we'll know the Rat Race has long since begun, It's a turn of the century and we're worse off than the last one
Pre Chorus 2:
And I wanna love I wanna feel but it's far easier to hate, it gets harder everyday to find a way to abborate. Why set myself apart? I am Man and Man is me, so pull on up that stool my friend can I buy you a drink?
Chorus:
So bottoms up all ye Hopefuls, you know this won't be the last, When those bottles run the bone then I'll break out the flask, Mr. Bartender please oh please bring me another round, 'Cause when I get to feel like this, it's here that keeps me sound, it's sad I know. I'm afraid it's so.
Verse:
Serve me up the ink well, show me where to sign, wrap me up in tales of grandeur I'm on a be one of the "good guys", Call me a cynic and a liar, Hold me in contempt, But the forthcoming of those icy winds, No one is exempt
Pre Chorus 1:
And I pass that red brick wall that I've seen all my life, And somehow it reminds me of a better place and time, Now had we lost each other somewhere along the line? The next that we see to eye to eye is gonna be a long long time
Chorus:
So bottoms up all ye Hopefuls, you know this won't be the last, When those bottles run the bone then I'll break out the flask, Mr. Bartender please oh please bring me another round, 'Cause when I get to feel like this, it's here that keeps me sound, it's sad I know. I'm afraid it's so.

Verse:
Hey come and walk with me, We'll disappear into the trees, We'll wander on through the night, Straight out of Heavan's sight, The sky ignites and it's then, We'll gather at the Devil's bend, Sing and dance and give your soul, To warm solace at All Day's End.
Verse:
Hey come and walk with me, On fields of emerald green, We'll loiter by the sea, And embrace tenderly, And it's there that I'll say, I'm never going away, It's truth I speak to thee, Love is made in the summer breeze.
Verse:
Hey come and walk with me, Cheerin' solidarity, Mister, brother, sister, neighbor; Unite and we shall stand together, Through the daylight, And through our darkest hour, We'll raise the flag, And we'll scream, "Fight the power!"
Verse:
Hey come and walk with me, Down roads we've never been, Travel far and wide to see, Things we thought we'd only dreamed, Stories told by firelight, Railroad track and highway sign, Atop the mast, On wings to fly, From sea to sea, O'er mountain high.

Please, Go outside. To the seeds, To the trees, To the sunlight that keeps us alive.
Leave, Everything inside. Take a drink from the roots of life, Open your mind.
We'll bark at the moon if we like! We'll start off the day with a hike. We'll jump from our new fear of heights, Just to show you, That we're alive!
That's my home!

Verse:
Where's the faith? I thought that it would occur to try and wait. When I would return to the harbor with my ship fully intact, and find a charter guiding us to the freedom lands. But she couldn't even wait.
Chorus:
I'm pacing back and forth on the deck, I don't wanna drown, Unless I wreck it then I'm honored to sink right down, The storm is comin' and I'm scramblin' for the helm, Now I'm searchin', Yeah I'm searchin', Through the Deep Sea Realm
Verse:
Through his letters, He documented his path, It's mid-November when you read that he was goin' mad, Alcohol bleedin' through his system all night, "Damn them all!", he says, And then about her he writes.
I can't get that image out. Of her starin' at clouds. But she couldn't even wait.
Chorus:
I'm pacing back and forth on the deck, I don't wanna drown, Unless I wreck it then I'm honored to sink right down, The storm is comin' and I'm scramblin' for the helm, Now I'm searchin', Yeah I'm searchin', Through the Deep Sea Realm

Verse:
Come and gather 'round, Hear ye all the test of day, Breathin' life and new heart, Into good 'ol fashioned ways, I've been saved and redeemed, I start a new life and I swear, To the end of my days.
Chorus:
I'll be sittin' 'round the fire, With you my dear friends, Where we'll be drinkin' whiskey, And smokin' cigarettes, We'll sing all the old songs so sing along with me, May we never live upon our backs, But die upon our feet.
Verse:
On the 7th day that the Lord had gone to rest, I don't think he ever, Did get out of bed, So I took upon myself, To pick up the slack, I built myself my own commandments, With the strength of my own back.
Chorus:
I'll be sittin' 'round the fire, With you my dear friends, Where we'll be drinkin' whiskey, And smokin' cigarettes, We'll sing all the old songs so sing along with me, May we never live upon our backs, But die upon our feet.
Verse:
Thou shalt!
*If you go by friend shall you n'er feel the backhand, If you'll be my lovin' girl, I'll be your lovin' man, Sunday is made for rest and playin' cards and shootin' pool, And Jesus Christ himself had said, "Thou shalt act a fool."
Chorus:
I'll be sittin' 'round the fire, With you my dear friends, Where we'll be drinkin' whiskey, And smokin' cigarettes, We'll sing all the old songs so sing along with me, May we never live upon our backs, But die upon our feet.
Verse
So come and gather 'round but judge me not too harshly, For my want of happy day, And my love of the barley, Come on now you people, We'll have a rowdy down, Sing along with me, For I shall sing it proud.
*
Chorus x2:
I'll be sittin' 'round the fire, With you my dear friends, Where we'll be drinkin' whiskey, And smokin' cigarettes, We'll sing all the old songs so sing along with me, May we never live upon our backs, But die upon our feet.
