Been wearing out these old floorboards
Seems like forever
Yes, I'm kindly acquainted
With every divot and line
Tryin' to keep all my senses
And hold it together
But I just can't hold nothin'
With these hands full of time
Even the devil himself
Kicked me off his damn playground
Sayin', "Boy, ain't ya got nothin' better to do"
Said he's got a luncheon with Bezos
A meeting in congress
Yeah, much bigger fish
To attend himself to
So, I'm drowning the hours
With dreams of the day
When we all get together
Raise us some cane
Hell's bells will be ringing
And the ol' crowd singing
Adios amigo
We will see you next spring
♪
Done a whole lotta starin'
At this 00-Martin
Tryin' to write about something
Ain't no one else done
Maybe a heavenly stairway
Or a great bird of freedom
Don't it seem like the good stuff's
Already been sung
I just keep on diggin'
Put my back right into it
For to find you a diamond
You gotta stay in the dirt
Now it's three in the morning
Nothing much to show for it
But a good case of bad posture
And a stain on my shirt
Yeah, I'm drowning the hours
With dreams of the day
When we all get together
Raise us some cane
Hell's bells will be ringing
And the ol' crowd singing
Adios amigo
'Til we see you next spring
♪
Tried to divvy my rations
But math ain't my strong suit now
Three months and counting
On a two-week supply
Been grinding up stems and seeds for good measure
And sniffing the fumes
When the bottle runs dry
But better days they're a comin'
Yeah, we'll be howling again boys
I can see it so clear
When I close my eyes
Beneath the neon shinin'
In a great congregation
We'll lift up our bottles
And sing one for pride
Yeah, I'm drowning in the hours
With dreams of the day
When we all get together
Raise us some cane
Hell's bells will be ringing
And the ol' crowd singing
Adios amigo
'Til we see you next spring
Yeah, adios amigo
'Til we see you next spring
