Bonnie Montgomery - Half Drunk

Half drunk, half stoned, and living alone
In a land of ten thousand goodbyes

Half down, half up, please pass me the buck
Of a victim, too scared to sing high

But necessity came crawling on me
To play well the part of soprano in the opera
Life is horrible, I guess you know
I wouldn't trade you for peace or war
But just lay low boy, the tide's sure to turn

Half baked, half fried, and looking at these bloodshot eyes
In the looking glass of yore

Half blown, half broke, please send them a message from this German boat
And tell em that I tried

Take care, so long, and goodnight
Don't lean on the lamp posts of China in the summertime
Take your lovers bow, and tell em how
Your father spent time herding cows
And keep composure
The farm's doing fine

Half love, half hate, well isn't that the only realistic bait
That will walk you down an isle

Half here, half there, could you accept that dare
And keep a glimmer of youth in your eye

Stay strong, don't cry in the night
And tell the old timers that the hoe-down's coming soon enough
Well, I loved you, I love you
I'd walk the line for you
But, darlin it's a little too long

Well, jump overboard, and send the word
To take care in the afterworld
She's still afloat, boys
So keep your head up high
