Here Comes A Regular

Well, a person can work up a mean, mean thirst After a hard day of nothin' much at all Summer's passed, it's too late to cut the grass Ain't much to rake anyway in the fall

And sometimes I just ain't in the mood To take my place in the back with the hard knocks Like a picture on the fridge that's never stocked with food I used to live at home, now I stay in the house

And everybody wants to be special here I call out your name Here comes a regular Am I the only one here today?

Well, a drinkin' buddy that's bound to another town Once the police made you go away And even if you're in the arms of someone's baby, now I'll take a great big whiskey to you anyway

Everybody wants to be someone's here Someone's gonna show up, never fear 'Cause here comes a regular Call out your name Here comes a regular Am I the only one who feels ashamed?

Kneeling alongside old Sad eyes, he says "Opportunity knocks once, then the door slams shut" All I know is I'm sick of everything that my money can buy The fool who wastes his life, God rest his guts

First the lights, then the collar goes up and the wind begins to blow Turn your back on a pay-you-back, last call First the glass, then the leaves that pass, then comes the snow Ain't much to rake anyway in the fall

Here comes a regular Call out your name Here comes a regular Am I the only one here today?
