You lean left. I lean right. Spin us both around and who’s to say who’s right? Let’s drink, let’s sit. Let’s smoke and shoot the shit. You stand there. I stand here. You wonder why. To me it’s clear. Let’s drink, let’s sit. Let’s smoke and shoot the shit. Who’s your favorite singer? How about the weather? Whatcha watchin’ on Netflix? I love our time together... I think day. You think night. You couldn’t be more wrong. I couldn’t be less right. Let’s drink, let’s sit. Let’s smoke and shoot the shit. The stones got bigger or the holes got smaller The water’s lower or the bridge is taller Let’s drink, let’s sit. Let’s smoke and shoot the shit. How about the home team? Where do you go to eat? How’ve the wife and kids been? I don’t get enough sleep... You lean left. I lean right. Spin us both around and who’s to say who’s right?

You say “you’re holding me back” You’re holding me back I was fine before you came along. Before you came along. I need to look around. Forget what I’ve found. Something new’s bound to be good. So I probably should. Yeah all my good friends Ain’t all that good Who’s lining up by my side, who’s along for the ride, who’s upside is down. Nowhere to be found. I’m used to being alone, out on the road, kinda misunderstood. Kinda misunderstood. Yeah all my good friends Ain’t all that good You say “you’re holding me back” You’re holding me back I was fine before you came along. So go and get along. I’ll do just fine by myself, I’ll put it all on a shelf, I won’t look back. It’s best I don’t. Yeah all my good friends Ain’t all that good

We do what we can. Work with what we’ve got. At the end of the day it ain’t a lot. Scrape together some scraps. Try to make ends meet. Hang on to every cliche. Wait and see. A penny for your thoughts. I’ll take that every time. I couldn’t jump over a nickel to save a dime You’re gonna miss me babe when I go. You won’t miss what I got, but you’ll miss what I know. They tell you that’s what matters. That’s what matters most. But we all chase rainbows. We’d all sell our own ghost. A penny for your thoughts. I’ll take that every time. I couldn’t jump over a nickel to save a dime I couldn’t jump over a nickel to save a dime

I like a cup of coffee And so do you We share a pot and read the paper That’s what we do I separate the sports You read the local news And when we hop into the car We listen to the blues But what if I change What if you change What if we change so much we Fall out of love What if we change so much we Fall out of love When I was young Long before we met Before I grew and understood the world I leaned to the left I can’t imagine shifting That way again But stranger things have surely happened To more stubborn men So what if I change What if you change What if we change so much we Fall out of love What if we change so much we Fall out of love

You wanted me to pay for things I didn’t say I put the blame on you for things you didn’t do You wanted me to run from things I hadn’t done We make the bed we’re lying in When I look into your eyes and you look into my eyes A little of us dies. We won’t apologize Neither of us tries. We both realize We make the bed we’re lying in Then one day it all changed. We both went sane We thought I was dead when i bonked my head It knocked some sense in me and it helped you to see We make the bed we’re lying in

Pluck my hairs out one by one Poke me in the eye just for fun I’m pretty smart but I’m really dumb Around you, around you I like to be, I like to be, I like to be Around you I like to be around you I trip, I fall, I think I bruised my side You make me nervous, you’ve made me cry I’m speechless and my tongue is tied Around you, around you I like to be, I like to be, I like to be Around you I like to be around you I like to be, I like to be, I like to be Around you I like to be around you

The windows are broken, so is the front door The rent is due and this is, all we can afford We can search the town but, everything’s run down Since we’re stuck living in this dump We gotta keep our spirits up, up, up He’s blind in one eye, actually it’s two He ain’t getting any younger, there’s nothing we can do Keep him away from walls, make sure he doesn’t fall Share stories of his life as a pup We gotta keep our spirits up, up, up... Keep our friends and family close, that’s what matters most Gather ‘round the front yard stump We gotta keep our spirits up, up, up

Even if I knew where to go, and which turns to make And I helped everyone make a list of all the things to take We all agreed to turn off our phones, and just enjoy the silence And all those who weren’t so sure just agreed to try it Would we ever really find the time? Would we ever really find the time? Next week’s soccer, so we’d hafta show up late Instead of cutting it short, we might as well just wait Then we’re into the winter and beyond that I haven’t really filled my planner that far in advance Would we ever really find the time? Would we ever really find the time? I’ve got a mound a bills to pay, I ought to dust the shelves And all those streaks from 2018 ain’t gonna extend themselves I’ve got to plan my meals for the week, and give the dog a bath I think it’s best I just stay home, so I can just relax I’ve got a cabin somewhere in the country We used to go there just to unwind I’ve got a cabin somewhere in the country But, would we ever really find the time? Would we ever really find the time?

It’s a pretty nice night tonight It’s a pretty nice night to rest It’s a pretty nice night to read myself to sleep I guess It’s a pretty nice night tonight It’s a pretty nice night to chill It’s a pretty nice night to hang with you so I guess I will It’s a pretty nice night tonight It’s a pretty nice night to die It’s a pretty nice night for you to all be by my side

I’ve got a story that you won’t believe Wait til you hear what the judge did to me See I’m a baker and I don’t cheat I charge a fair price for my sweet treats I don’t offer samples or donate to the poor People buy what people can afford If someone steals from me I expect them to pay And my neighbor stole day after day He’s not a millionaire but he’s got a few Yet he went and stole so I had to sue Gotta do this, walla-walla bing-bang. Gotta make everything alright. Gotta do this, walla-walla bing-bang. Gotta make everything alright. See every day while on his beat-up stoop He’d throw crumbs to the birds and offer strangers soup But more importantly he wouldn’t spend a cent In my store yet he enjoyed the scent The sweet smells would travel all through the air Straight from my ovens right on over there He’d breathe it all in he’d smile having fun Made his old stale bread taste like a cinnamon bun And for such pleasure provided by me Surely he should have to pay a little smelling fee... Yeah there ain’t nothin’ that I can think of You get for free except for maybe love... And it sure seemed like the judge agreed He had him take three coins out I thought to give to me But instead he told the man To pass the coins from hand to hand Then the judge asked me if I had heard the coins And if the sound of the money had brought me joy Of course it did now, send the coins my way He said “no but it’s settled, see you’ve just been paid” A smell was stolen, but it’s all fine now A sound for a smell, a smell for a sound Gotta do this, walla-walla bing-bang. Gotta make everything alright. Gotta do this, walla-walla bing-bang. Gotta make everything alright. A smell was stolen, but all is well A smell for a sound, a sound for a smell Gotta do this, walla-walla bing-bang. Gotta make everything alright. Gotta do this, walla-walla bing-bang. Gotta make everything alright. Gotta do this, walla-walla bing-bang. Gotta make everything alright. Gotta do this, walla-walla bing-bang. Gotta make everything alright.

I chatted with a priest last night online His house is just three blocks from mine He loves his church, he’s super proud But every week there’s a smaller crowd He needs a way to grow his flock It might be passe but Maybe rock and roll can save the day Can rock and roll save the day? He heard my songs online and hunted me down They sounded fine, he kinda liked the sound Since I live nearby, since I don’t hate the lord Since I seem okay, since I said I’m bored He asked me once, he asked me twice Eventually and just to be nice I agreed to play, but I don’t know why I don’t sing out loud, I’m not that guy He may be throwing darts or maybe not Perhaps he’s right Maybe rock and roll can save the day Can rock and roll save the day? I can dance around and I don’t swear that much And I won’t talk up Satan, but is that enough? He wants me to play for his congregation It might as well be the entire nation I’ll sleep in that day and say I forgot My songs ain’t right they’re too much rock and roll Rock and roll can save the day Can rock and roll save the day?

I’ve been thinking a lot, about nothing at all How what we all think matters doesn’t, really matter at all The world won’t stop spinning, or come to an end Even when, we lose a friend
