Gracefully Facedown

Verse

Lately things ain't been going my way

Consequently I've been drinking nearly every day

It's hard to keep your head up when they're knocking you down

So I been making that all go round

Drinking bottom shelf bourbon to ease my mind

Seems to work alright 'til closing time

But you know you're gonna come down every night

And there ain't no way you'll ever feel satisfied

Ain't that hard to figure where to begin

It's Friday night so I'm rushing in

Like a fool I get it anywhere I can



Chorus

Well I've been having a hard time

Walking a straight line

Seeing two of every single neon sign

Well now you'll find me downtown

Gracefully face down

Just wishing I could feel alright



Verse

Well lately I've been wanderin around with eyes closed

It seems like I been heading down the wrong road

Thought I'd find my way by now

But I still got lost somehow

Y'hear shots fall down from Heaven above

You might lose a friend you might fall in love

But you know you're gonna come down every night

And there ain't no way you'll ever feel satisfied

Six in the morning 'til your dying day

It's straight bad news and bills to pay

But come five o'clock you're feeling good again



Chorus

Well I've been having a hard time

Walking a straight line

Seeing two of every single neon sign

Well now you'll find me downtown

Gracefully face down

Just wishing I could feel alright



Verse

Well I been so high I hit my head on the ground

Sat up on the floor seems the room spin around

But when you squint real hard through the bottom of the bottle

Things really don't look so bad

You drink a cheap malt liquor from a 40 ounce bottle

Swig some bourbon, some pills if you've got 'em

But you know you're gonna come down every night

And there ain't no way you're ever gonna feel satisfied

There's years of my life I don't remember at all

Like one Friday evening I can barely recall

It was a sick situation in a bar room bathroom stall



Chorus

Well I've been having a hard time

Walking a straight line

Seeing two of every single neon sign

Well now you'll find me downtown

Gracefully face down

Just wishing I could feel alright



Yeah I been wishing I could feel alright

Yeah I been wishing I could feel alright
