Bored At Work

I think about stuff all the time and I write a lot of things down. I wrote this quickly, while bored at work today, so why not share it?

In my head, I've got the music to, “Lady in the Harbor,” (Waylon Jennings)

Gotta Leave This Town Tonight

(Verse)

My stomach's all messed up from last night's drinking,

Got another two hours of sitting here, just thinking.

By the time I get home, it'll be dark, too dark to see,

I'll resort to whiskey, and my guitar to set me free.

(Chorus)

I won't leave this town tomorrow, it's gotta be tonight,

I gotta break this mad routine, 'cos it just ain't right.

This Hell-bound circling spiral of negativity,

Eats me up inside and blinds me constantly.

(Verse)

Another hour-and-a-half to go and I just can't win,

I've got some shopping to do, even though I know it's a sin,

I'll buy a bottle of whiskey and a box of wine,

And I'll sit and I'll play and I'll drink, 'til I feel just fine,

(Verse)

Now I don't care, what people think of me,

I'm a good man, and honest I'll always be,

But I dress up, and I look good in the day,

When the darkness comes, I can't help but fly away.
