Jordan wanted to sign with Adidas for shoes But Nike gave him an offer that he could not refuse It wasn’t a pizza that poisoned him in Utah With the hotel bill to prove Three thousand dollars on just five dudes I bought fake Jordans They weren’t even shoes Oh he looked so sick It was all over the news But it wasn’t the pizza and it wasn’t the flu Yeah I love drinking too I love drinking too

We saw John Daly sing “Knockin on Heaven’s Door” Bird calls comin from the rafters at the hardware store They took my driver’s license but you still have yours You’re all I need babe Yeah you’ve heard that one before You’re all I need babe Loneliness is simple Not much else is Her love for me is real She gives what she has to give She gave me wings And I caught blight And I think I might be knock knock knock knock knock knockin On heaven’s door tonight

It’s plain to me to see You have bought yourself a boat Since the last time you and me spoke Your laundry looks so pretty Soft threads hanging and relaxing in the wind You’ll feel so much better When you wear these clothes again The waves ruin the beach house Every year on your birthday They gave this hurricane your human name How many more bug bites And other subtle misfortunes can I withstand tonight? Someone snuck their mothballs in my headlights The neighbors are cussing And throwing shit in the yard While echoes of the minor leagues Tumble down the road

It’s hard to see you fall like that Though I know how much of it’s an act In this tables, ladders, and chairs match Where all things go Like your shoulders, your hips, and knees They all hurt you They will work you Just need to take some of these And all things go That’s why you do what you gotta do Just to get through And I know life will make you crazy I do Now it’s not the same as when we were boys The playful way we would destroy Half naked taking steroids And watch us go I always believed you every time you said You were gonna be like our heroes someday Well, baby All our heroes now are dead Cause all things go That’s why we do what we gotta do Just to get through And I know life will make us crazy I do And I know why we get fucked up I know why we get so fucked up I know why we get so fucked up I do It’s hard to see you fall so flat From so high up hard down on the matt In this battle royale cage match Where all things go

Rudolph waking up in the road Dew dripping off his red nose Blue and black tire track torn Through a beautiful doe Deleted scene of Lightning McQueen Blacked out at full speed How many roads must a man walk down til he learns He’s just a jerk who flirts with the clergy nurse til it burns I wouldn’t be in the seminary if I could be with you If I could be with you

Toontown frown I’m your beat down rodeo clown With his pants pulled down Faded face paint smile Leave the end on simmer for a while Did you find my Disney World? Did it make you dizzy, girl? When it fell apart, Did it break your heart? Now I’m crying in the bathroom Of our dying world in a vacuum Still trying to be funny You can see right through me Honey Toontown frown Just some watered down romeo clown With his pants pulled down Did you find my Disney World? Did it make you dizzy, girl? When it fell apart, Did it break your heart?

My daddy saw Dan Marino At a Harris Teeter In South Carolina By the shore He hustled his balls And looked at a cereal box He did not see his face Brady’s has replaced Tom Brady’s has replaced But I think big Dan will be alright For he’s a hall of famer The next day we saw dolphins From a friend of ours boat From a friend of ours boat We saw dolphins From our friends boat

I had it under control I had it under control And then it snow balled And rolled and rolled and rolled And I don’t have control anymore Can’t say I didn’t know But sometimes you get so alone I’d always seen the corner And still I stubbed my toe Can’t say I didn’t know Don’t remind me Don’t remind me What I already know Don’t remind me Don’t remind me I know I got my wheels in a ditch There’s a word for this For what used to scratch the itch And then some day it quit Ain’t that a bitch

SUV (Live) 02:01
I still have the key To your boyfriend’s SUV I keep it by my bed Like a picture of you and me You caught me in my bathrobe You caught me on my knees You caught me on my weekend Catching up on my TV My TV
10.
Used to believe I wanted to be A catholic priest I would never have to worry About the girls tryin' to break my heart All expenses paid yeah I'd have it made The house would come furnished Yeah I'd have it made been livin' like Every time I black out night It's a soccer time-out Lost minutes added to the end of my life I wish I remembered what I said I woke up embarrassed with a pain in my head I wish I remembered hurtin' your feelings I woke up embarrassed took out the trash I woke up embarrassed And I tried to make you laugh
11.
Course I know, we are so small I put it in perspective Still I can't help believe That someday I’ll have it all Jack Nicholson's courtside seat Purple foam imprinted with celebrity asscheek And if the Laker's get beat Well it won’t mean much to me Course I know, we are in charge Eight billion little bosses doin' Eight billion little jobs Still I find myself stressin' LIke I'm tied to a track So I bought myself a hammock to try to relax And I found two trees With the nerve enough to hold me
12.
Someone get the grill out of the rain Thought you could drink it off Now you're drowning in your pain It'd be such a bust That grill should rust Precious memories are the ones that suck Just can't get enough Someone get the grill out of the rain

Pretty little puddle In Miami blue Huge water slide Into a drained out Community swimming pool Seed fell out of the feeder And the birds are eating on the ground Jackass is funny Like the Earth is round Rogan’s home for the holidays The conversations are good And the dinners are great If only for being homemade I bought you a shirt From the local merch at the airport Gave it to you and screamed “You are every girl to me”

Ten years ago, on a cold dark night Someone was killed 'neath the town hall light Few were at the scene, but they all did agreed That the man who ran looked a lot like me The judge said, "Son what is your alibi? If you were somewhere else then you don't have to die" I said not a word though it meant my life I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife She walks these hills in a long black veil She visits my grave when the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me The scaffold was high, and eternity nears She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans In a long black veil she cries over my bones She walks these hills in a long black veil She visits my grave when the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me, nobody knows but me, nobody knows but me
