Here Comes a Regular - Against Me!

Well, a person can work up a mean, mean thirst

After a hard day of nothing much at all

The summer’s past, it’s too late to cut the grass

There ain’t much to rake anyway in the fall

Sometimes I just ain’t in the mood

To take my place in back with the loudmouths

You’re like a picture on a fridge that’s never stocked with food

I used to live at home, now I stay at the house

And everybody wants to be special here

They call your name out loud and clear

Here comes a regular

Call out your name

Here comes a regular

Am I the only one here today?

Well, a drinking buddy that’s bound to another town

Once the police came and took you away

And even if you’re in the arms of someone’s baby now

I’ll take a great big whiskey to you anyway

And everybody wants to be someone’s here

Someone’s gonna show up, never fear

Here comes a regular

Call out your name

Here comes a regular

Am I the only one here today?

Kneeling alongside old Sad Eyes

He says opportunity knocks once, then the door slams shut

All I know is I’m sick of everything that my money can buy

A fool who wastes his life, God rest his guts

First the lights, then the collar goes up, and the wind begins to blow

Turn your back on a pay-you-back last call

First the glass, then leaves that pass, then comes the snow

Ain’t much to rake anyway in the fall
