His shoulders slump heavy 'Neath the weight of the news In the corner of a bar In his favorite stool Where he carved his first muse He studies the jukebox Though he knows every song He's reminded of the days When an old passerby Might see him singing along In spite of it all We did okay And there's shittier lots in life I'd have to say We take our last breath here on earth In spite of it all He shoots his fine whiskey With a wry stubbled grin When you're haggard and worn To sip or to shoot What's the difference in the end A tattered old journal Another rhyme another sin Here he goes again Standing on the edge Waiting for the wind In spite of it all We did okay And there's shittier lots in life I'd have to say We take our last breath here on earth In spite of it all The skin takes a scar The wrinkle remains To mark all the happiness Sorrow and shame In spite of it all We did okay And there's shittier lots in life I'd have to say We take our last breath here on earth In spite of it all In spite of it all We did okay And there's shittier lots in life I'd have to say We take our last breath here on earth In spite of it all In spite of it all In spite of it all In spite of it all In spite of it all In spite of it all In spite of it all
