Avalon

Verse Billy wasn't sober He got pulled over in chinatown Liquor on his breath Stuffs a pistol in the cushion Rolls the window down Oh well, his heart it races like a hundred-yard dash Stone cold on his face He's been since then reluctant on his way Verse Billy wasn't sober He was hungover It was 10 am Another day of work Clutching the pillow like his only friend He's past his prime He's a damn sore Steadfast in his ways Wasted his life but he still has cards to play And he hopes today he'll swim his way to Avalon He's not all the way down Verse Billy's getting older The chip on his shoulder's getting heavier Weight of the world Spins and skids into oblivion This ain't living, it's a way to rather die There must be another way Under his breath he says, "Things have got to change" And he hopes today he'll swim his way to Avalon He's not all the way down And he hopes today he'll swim his way to Avalon He's not all the way down Bridge Searching but he got no soul Wishing he could flip a switch Turn his life around and face the fact That life's a bitch And he hopes today he'll swim his way to Avalon He's not all the way down And he hopes today he'll swim his way to Avalon He's not all the way down And he hopes today he'll swim his way to Avalon He's not all the way down
