lyrics

Well, these tired old shoes, they've seen better days. Then again mama so has my face.

This faded old skin, watery eyes, silver, rough chin, well my mouths told many lies.

But it hasn't all been bad, hell, it used to be good. Women and liquor mamma and I did more drugs than i should.

But it turned out ok. Except, now I'm alone. My cards all on the table, I got no place left to call home.

At one time I had me, a rock and roll band. To die or get rich, well that was our one and only, lonely plan.

Didn't work out, but hell, we had some fun. Never quite made it but we drank us a lot of rum.

So lets see if these fingers remember their old sword. Here's one last song to those who once adored.

Yeah i got one last riff, one last dirty chord. To all those baby's that once adored.
