Late-night longshots at the bar
Waitin' and waitin' and waitin' on a phone call
My one true love is this cheap guitar
Everybody flyin' in a harmony rocket
Everybody's sleepin' on a hardwood floor
You got two two-dollar bills in your pocket
You've got no idea when you'll get more
But that's alright
It's goin' down, down, down
We got nothin'
But nothin's good enough for the dropouts
Buildings made of bricks and mortar
Mockingbirds up in the sky
Man I hated going to high school
All I wanted was to learn how to fly
But that's alright
Turns out you don't need wings
When you've got whiskey
And guitar strings
About midnight
We gon' get real loud
We got nothin', but
Nothin's good enough for the dropouts
In a parallel universe, everybody's wasted
In another life where we all live
In the straight world, everybody thinks we've lost it
Oh, but we all see what a joke it is
I know you
Even if I don't know your name
The real world
Can't be really lame
You gotta make your own sunshine
When you're underground
We got nothin', but
Nothin', nothin', nothin', nothin'
Nothin's good enough for the dropouts
We're the dropouts
We're the dropouts
We're the dropouts
Aw, yeah
Dropouts paid in alcohol Late-night longshots at the bar Waitin' and waitin' and waitin' on a phone call My one true love is this cheap guitar Everybody flyin' in a harmony rocket Everybody's sleepin' on a hardwood floor You got two two-dollar bills in your pocket You've got no idea when you'll get more But that's alright It's goin' down, down, down We got nothin' But nothin's good enough for the dropouts Buildings made of bricks and mortar Mockingbirds up in the sky Man I hated going to high school All I wanted was to learn how to fly But that's alright Turns out you don't need wings When you've got whiskey And guitar strings About midnight We gon' get real loud We got nothin', but Nothin's good enough for the dropouts In a parallel universe, everybody's wasted In another life where we all live In the straight world, everybody thinks we've lost it Oh, but we all see what a joke it is I know you Even if I don't know your name The real world Can't be really lame You gotta make your own sunshine When you're underground We got nothin', but Nothin', nothin', nothin', nothin' Nothin's good enough for the dropouts We're the dropouts We're the dropouts We're the dropouts Aw, yeah Explain Request ×
