Dayroom - Cheap Wine

I’m living by and large in the back of a beat up car
This way I’m always close to home
Come over anytime, we’ll open a bottle of cheap wine
And wake up stinking like a wild Irish rose

It’s happened all over again
You’re knockin but you can’t come in
Everyone is starin at your tie

They won’t look you in the eye
Looks like you hit the big time
But then the big time hit and it smacks you in the face

So jump right out of the rat race
Don’t even try to take their last place
Get up, get up, get off, get out their on your own

Look out, get down
They’re taking you downtown
Get in, blow kisses
It gets no better than this

I’m living by and large in the back of a beat up car
This way I’m always close to home
Come over anytime, we’ll open a bottle of cheap wine
And wake up stinking like a wild Irish rose

You waited to stand in line
You made it they picked your mind
They taught you how to win and then they changed the rules

You let ‘em go play the game
By saying it’s all the same
What goes around, it comes around, you’re playing it cool

You kept climbing the hill and started to feel the chill
They’ll knock you down the second they catch you standing still

Look out, get down
They’re taking you downtown
Get in, blow kisses
It gets no better than this

I’m living by and large in the back of a beat up car
This way I’m always close to home
Come over anytime, we’ll open a bottle of cheap wine
And wake up stinking like a wild Irish rose

You’re looking for something to do
Much better than what you knew
Just take one step off to the side

Don’t bother to fight the tide
Just ditch the coat and the tie
And raise your glass up and hey let’s drink to what’s around

Don’t ever let it get you down
This lame old lazy town
Just grow some roots but hey don’t ever let ’em touch the ground

Look out, get down
They’re taking you downtown
Get in, blow kisses
It gets no better than this

I’m living by and large in the back of a beat up car
This way I’m always close to home
Come over anytime, we’ll open a bottle of cheap wine
And wake up stinking like a wild Irish rose
