Street Dogs - Patrick lyrics

Neponset neighborhood landscape You loomed larger than most Owned scholastic and academic achievements All which you did boast The world was in the palm of your hand When you went backdoor on school and friends Drink, d**, fighting fast lane life Grew big chips on those imposing shoulders [Chorus] Take it back Patrick Where is the kid that I once knew Such a young sick kid Where is this lifestyle taking you Look at what booze did The insanity breaking you Take it back Patrick Put in choice dry out spots But you always broke out Claimed they didn't know your reality Loaded with self doubt Jump back on the pain train The ride will be different this time Denial express closes to a stop Your d**h, the end of the ride [Chorus] You can claim ignorance Once the reaper comes Because you got told about the cure by your drink doctor Go back on the bright, straighten up your life To you we do implore a second shot at this tonight Saw you lying there, beaten at town field With an unshakeable angry frown and requisite bottle That won't happen to you, you were once the ace A field's corner kid that the booze just knocked right out of place Take it back Patrick Lazarus runs out of time Such a young sick kid Without reason or a rhyme Look at what booze did A family left beyond the wake Take it back Patrick
