Sat around this side of town late this afternoon
Searched for truth, ended bad, and now I'm stuck here with the blues
I'm still alone, but I'm alive and I've been drinking since half past noon
You know I've tried my whole life to find some hope that is stride and true
And that's exactly what I'll do
I feel a cold hot fever consume my bones
And if I hold out for just a little longer
I might make it home
I start to sweat, she takes my breath now I'm a mess without a clue
Feeling sick, start to twitch and now I'm spent for the afternoon
Over and over I keep repeating what you said
A sad loner with some issues in my head
I feel my blood begin to boil, my stomach start to knot
Come to think i know exactly what I've got I feel a
Cold hot fever, consume my bones
And if I hold out just a little longer
I might make it home
If I hold out, if I hold out a little longer
I might make it home, make it home
