One day when times ain't so tight
One day we'll rise and live again
One day I'll set my sh** up right
And find myself
And I'll come back to find you then
One day when coward's not my name
One day I'll get up off the floor
One day I'll turn and face the flame
And you will show me to the door
And we won't look back again
[Chorus]
Because I bought into a lie
Because yesterday is gone away
And because a drink ain't the price of a song anymore
I say you've got me gaunt and kind of rare
I hear my punchline failing down below me in the air
I hold my breath and peek at all of
My old friends down there
A weak wave bye to all the Townes I've known
Through the tunnel now I see the light
And if I don't trip up and I don't get caught
One day I might make that final move
The way you're tellin' me I ought
Might find one day sooner then we thought
[Chorus]
Because I bought into a lie
Because yesterday is gone away
And because a drink ain't the price of a song anymore
