Irresponsible

(Album: Doin' My Time - 2011)

Well she told me she loved me but I needed to grow up
That I was being irresponsible last night at the Blind Pig Pub
And I said you know what

There ain't nothing wrong with being irresponsible
Completely unpredictable and highly dysfunctional
When you're out with your buddies on a Saturday night
You can say what you want and do what you think
Toast to anything and have a drink on me
Getting through life's gonna seem impossible
But ain't nothing wrong with being irresponsible

There were fourteen beer cans on my kitchen table this morning when I woke up
So I warmed up a Hot Pocket, threw it in my lunch box and headed on off to work
About a mile down the road my old engine overheated
I was seven thousand miles past the oil change I needed
I hitched me a ride to the Water Hole Saloon
Cause work's overrated and the beer's past due

There ain't nothing wrong with being irresponsible
Completely unpredictable and highly dysfunctional
When you're out with your buddies on a Saturday night
You can say what you want and do what you think
Toast to anything and have a drink on me
Getting through life's gonna seem impossible
But ain't nothing wrong with being irresponsible

We had a show last night in deep East Texas
Way outta hand half the people got arrested
The owner stumbled up in his drunken rage
He slapped me on the face and this is what he had to say
Your drummer can't play your fiddle player's laying down
Hell, even Ray Wylie Hubbard wouldn't even stick around
I picked up my Bud Light I walked off the stage
We loaded up the gear but we didn't get paid

There ain't nothing wrong with being irresponsible
Completely unpredictable and highly dysfunctional
When you're out with your buddies on a Saturday night
You can say what you want and do what you think
Toast to anything and have a drink on me
Getting through life's gonna seem impossible
But ain't nothing wrong with being irresponsible

I may not make it anywhere on time
And I may not have anything to call mine
I know she'll leave if I don't change
But that's fine with me

Because there ain't nothing wrong with being irresponsible
Completely unpredictable and highly dysfunctional
When you're out with your buddies on a Saturday night
You can say what you want and do what you think
Toast to anything and have a drink on me
Getting through life's gonna seem impossible
But ain't nothing wrong with being irresponsible

Getting through life would be impossible
Nobody said you had to be likable
Seems like you're doing something awful
But there ain't nothing wrong with being irresponsible
