Therapy 04:26
Therapy VERSE All the therapists in town they know me by name Cause all the girls that I see they’re a little bit crazy I mean I don’t get around not as much as I used to I’ve started settling down, not as much as I should PRE-CHORUS/TEASE Don’t judge a book Take another look VERSE Bottle of wine and a baseball game Replaced a bottle of scotch and someone to blame Priorities get clearer, then lovers disappear I’m not saying I’m old I’m just saying I’ve changed PRE-CHORUS/TEASE Don’t judge a book Take another look CHORUS Let’s go out and have a good time tonight Let’s go out say everything’s just right Pick a color any one is fine but blue We gonna paint the town darlin’, just me and you BRIDGE See the hipster boys in their skinny tight jeans Cuff em’ up or cuff em’ down then head out, hit the scene VERSE All the therapists in town know me by name Frequent flyer girl friends intoxicating games I still like to have a good time, still like to get loud Hang out on the back porch, or go some place with a crowd PRE-CHORUS/TEASE Don’t judge a book Take another look DOUBLE CHORUS
2.
No More Friends VERSE Take me home and drain (fuck) the alcohol out of me I need to be sober I can tell you that I won’t remember anything So don’t talk too serious PRE-CHORUS I can promise not to love you I won’t even bother to call CHORUS I don’t need anymore friends I need someone like you We can make it just what we want So we can make it through I can be there for the good times, the bad times, or not at all I don’t need anymore friends I need someone like you VERSE Let me go I don’t need a lot of these pills Just a few will get me by Talk in code all you want but I can tell you now That I can read your mind PRE-CHORUS I can promise not to love you I won’t even bother to call CHORUS I don’t need anymore friends I need someone like you We can make it just what we want So we can make it through I can be there for the good times, the bad times, or not at all I don’t need anymore friends I need someone like you BRIDGE FINAL CHORUS I don’t need anymore friends I need someone like you We can make it just what we want So we can make it through I’ll be your sunshine, you be my bleeding heart I don’t need anymore friends I need someone like you OUTRO

Procrastination I coulda been famous but I get too tired Giving it up, ain’t as easy as it looks Tell yourself you’ve got something else good Put all out there, just misunderstood Shootin blanks with a 6 shot limit Bored as hell with comin’ up with a gimic And there’s so much on tv, and video games Who the hell needs another rock song CHORUS And there’s girls out there in their underwear all over my flat top screen And the baby’s been cryin And the wife she’s callin And the bills don’t seem to stop No the bills they never stop And I can’t get shit done when it needs to get done So I fall back in a hole look like I’m on the run But in the back of mind there’s a genius at work But she’ll take a day off when I need her the most Yeah, she’ll take a week gone and I piss someone off CHORUS You say one of these days then you turn around And your ass is 33 (You’ve turned 33) Nashville’s only 8 hours away And you want to know what they think If you write them a check, they’ll say your songs are good Hell, you might even get one on tv Promise you the world and in a few short minutes They’re off to the next big thing LAST CHORUS (do twice) And there’s girls out there in their underwear all over my flat top screen And the baby’s been cryin And the wife she’s callin And the bills don’t seem to stop No the bills they never stop There’s girls out there without underwear all over my flat top screen And they’re making more money than I ever will But, that’s all right with me That’s all right with me

1500 Jessicas Fifteen hundred Jessicas and I don’t have the time To bottle up my crazy and try to make one mine The scenes of crowded bars where all the smokers pile outside Huddled in the heat, the sweat, the stink of all their lies You get into a knock down drag out shotgun kind of fight And I’m left looking backwards without even a knife I could have used a warning but babe that’s not your style Light it up and walk away stay gone for quite a while CHORUS I’m not The only Fool in this town I just Happened to Be hanging around When you set your sights on kill and conquer attack and then divide I didn’t know what hit me couldn’t find a place to hide Stopped into the only bar I knew you’d never been Spent the next 3 hours doing shots with all your friends CHORUS SOLO I’m not The only Fool in this town And yes I Wish I Would see you around To try and get you home with me Put you in the bed with me Try to get your heart to see Break it once and make it bleed Try to get you home with me Lock you in the room with me Look you in the eyes to see Just what you would do to me

Movin’ On Down the Line Jesus built my hot rod But it needs a new transmission My soul won’t go I’ve lost my flow Giving out bad emissions And the devil’s selling parts For half the price as God So I made a deal Got behind the wheel And now I can’t stop I keep moving Moving on down the line Moving Moving on down the line I race to win And ignore my sin With no angels by my side Heaven and hell I’ll fare thee well I’ve still got roads to drive Push it to the limit I’ll push it until it breaks Take past regrets And place my bets On a life of blind mistakes I keep moving Moving on down the line Moving Moving on down the line Glory glory Hallelujah Well the good lord forgive me for what I’ve done Glory glory what’s it to ya If I’ve still got, roads to run
