slobberbone - front porch lyrics
driven to silence but i’m drowning in sin
my mandolin hangs on the wall once again
i can’t seem to find the right words from within
but i won’t be looking for long
there comes a time when nothing seems clear
when you’re past out on the front porch with a head full of beer
confused and clouded by thoughts of you dear
but i won’t be thinking for long
so many years ago when i was pure
i was drunk on direction but afflicted with a cure
for all ailments cynical, that’s how things were
but i didn’t stay drunk for too long
notions and knowledge came and sobered me up
i sipped from their bottle and i slammed a whole cup
that swill seemed to sit well, but i should’ve thrown it up
’cause it didn’t sit well for too long
i was a fool, i was stupid because
i was mistaking knowledge for just a good buzz
five years drunk on wine and words and wit
served by cynics and charlatans, they were all full of sh-t
empty cans of frustration and cans of regret
line the living room floor that you’ve often swept
pop another one open and wretch at the stench
it’s a hard drink to swallow for a thirst you can’t quench
but there’ll, there’ll come a time when it all seems clear
when your past out on the front porch with your head full of beer
confused and clouded by thoughts of you dear
but i won’t be clouded for long
now i’m driven to silence and i’m drowning in sin
my mandolin hangs on the wall once again
i can’t seem to find the right words from within
but i won’t be looking for long
i’ll stink of drink till i let you in
then i won’t be stinking for long
no, i won’t be stinking for long
