lyrics

well I'd fly away, but I still got payments on my wings / it's so goddamn cold, I barely remember New Orleans
we could leave tonight, yeah we'll head for the hills / it's getting dark in here and already burned the last of the bills

but some of us still die in the back of cop cars, and a lot of old rich white men just keep getting old
so finish that drink, dear, and choke back your tears / yeah come on now, it's time for the show

when you found me, did I still have the bottle in my hand? / this table needs straightened, this wasn't part of the plan
let me just stop and think, it's a bad habit of mine / you know I'm trying to quit but I just can't seem to find the time

but some of us still die in the back of cop cars, and a lot of old white men just keep getting old
so finish that drink, dear, and choke back your tears / yeah come on now, it's time for the show
