lyrics

Wednesday morning in the pouring rain
I make some coffee to wake my brain
My hand is shaking from the night before
I turned my keys, I hit my floor

And last night was like the rest
I got drunk and stoned
And I played my best

Eating breakfast at my only table
I cook what I have I eat what I am able
An empty stomach that is coated with booze
Is hard to fill cause it tries to refuse

And thank you cab, for that ride home
Cause if ya hadn’t had
I would have walked it alone
A daily headache is fixed with a sip
A tea with a kick brings me back to a trip
A world outside that questions my mind
This brand new world has been taking up my time

And last night was like the rest
I got drunk and stoned
And I played my best

Will you save me from this path I am going
My old addiction was the love that I was showing
So if you’ll come home I’ll quit what I’ve done
I’ll be the earth and you’ll be my sun

And thank you cab for that ride home
Cause if you hadn’t had
I would have walked it alone
