lyrics

Don’t think I’ll make it to the shelter before they close up the doors
I’ll be stuck on the southside of town with Peaches and the whores
It’ll drop below Zero ‘fore the morning makes it’s way
But i got a new leather jacket yes I did at saint vincent de paul today
And I know what Joes is still open even on a monday night
You can tell him to turn the stove off ya i’m drinking my dinner tonight

See the store fronts shining with the christmas lights and the bells
Selling stain glass windows yes they are just pass the charmont hotel
See them taking off their jackets getting ready for the big game
Don’t even check their pockets no they don’t when I ask em for a little bit of change
And i know it don’t much matter when my lamp is your street light
Garbage can is empty so i’m drinking my dinner tonight

Diesel trucks scream by me and the bus don’t run anymore
I’ll make it off of fourth street and down to the grocery store
Where the faces are harder and they ask me what I do for work
Know if they’d only listen they don’t like living on this hurt
Like i said it don’t much matter cause we all got some kinda fight
And me i’m just a moving on drinking up my dinner tonight

Never starred in your movies never got that record deal
Never played the hero no i didn’t out on some football field
Never one for fortune i was never one for any kinda fame
So i’ll wonder if you’ll think about me when death finally calls my name
Don’t think you’ll be grieving in them papers black and white
So i guess i’ll just keep moving on drink up my dinner tonight
