One Foot In The Grave

(album: Built Different - 2022)

I was south of North Dakota
Rolling through the Black Hills
Hopped up on whiskey and choking down pills
And I was fixed on a score, short on cash
So I robbed a liquor store
Bought some speed and some hash
Then I headed down to Cheyenne, there were bulls to be spurred
But my brother got locked up in Denver, started signing like a bird
So I made it for the coast, it was time to set sail
'Cause when it all falls apart, man, it all goes to hell

I'm just living my life one day a time
A walking disaster, stoned out of my mind
It's all right, it's okay, and there ain't nothing to save
'Cause I'm already half dead and got one foot in the grave

You think you're better than me
Well, you're probably right
But I'm ringside in Baja, drunk at a bullfight
I changed my name to Juan Carlos to sell guns and drugs
Till the CIA got me, had my trailer house bugged
Wanted dead or alive by the Juarez cartel
And when it all falls apart, man, it all goes to hell

I'm just living my life one day a time
A walking disaster, stoned out of my mind
It's all right, it's okay, and there ain't nothing to save
'Cause I'm already half dead and got one foot in the grave

So I flipped like Tekashi, then I sold out my friends
Joined witness protection, never heard from again
And if you're out in west Texas and get thrown in jail
You can dial up my number, call Juan Carlos bail
And don't drop the soap 'cause it never fails
When it all falls apart, man, it all goes to hell

I'm just living my life one day a time
A walking disaster, stoned out of my mind
It's all right, it's okay, and there ain't nothing to save
'Cause I'm already half dead and got one foot in the grave
Yeah, it's all right, it's okay, there ain't nothing to save
'Cause I'm already half dead and got one foot in the grave
