Last Night

Hung over on the couch again Feelin' like a fool don't you know I've been Chasin' a dream and losing sleep Just a victim of the hours I keep In 29 days, I'll be 30 years old Still ain't found a job that I can hold But I've held on through thick and thin To one thing that I believe in Last night we had a pretty good crowd They were tappin' their toes and singin' out loud They heard every song we came to play Well I lost track of time, but I suppose We'd a played all night if that bar didn't close Nights like that don't happen every day I've played some dives where no one showed I've made less than the bar tab I owed Played for free and just for the booze It's a little thing called payin' your dues Those nights I got lost on my way home And the nights I spent so all alone Call on me from time to time And end up in the words of a rhyme (repeat chorus) I'd like to shut it down for a week Rest up my voice, maybe get some sleep But the chances of a vacation are slight Tryin' to make a livin' playing music at night So I spread my bills out on the floor Choose the ones to pay and the ones to ignore Tell myself it'll be alright Pick up my guitar and begin to write (repeat chorus)
