As lonely as these days are long
As dark as the night bird's song
This strange way of living
Has bled my heart dry
I'm lonesome but too stoned to cry
My clothes are ragged and worn
Like a sailor who's caught in the worst kind of storm
The water keeps rising
But I'm getting by
I keep walking but I'm too stoned to fly
There's whiskey and wine
And pills for the pain
Fast easy women and a little cocaine
I'm walking the line between hell bent and high
I ain't happy just too stoned to cry
Now I'm living from town to town
I've always been lost, I ain't ever been found
They said Jesus could save me
But that was a lie
I keep trying but I'm too stoned to die
I keep trying but I'm too stoned to die
There's whiskey and wine
And pills for the pain
Fast easy women and a little cocaine
I'm walking the line between hell bent and high
I ain't happy just too stoned to cry
