The Coral Gables - Pour One Out for Me

All roads lead to somewhere
How the hell did I get here?
I'm living in this cop town
And I'm aging in dog years
Through endless cups of coffee
And through buckets of red wine
I've filled up fifty notebooks
With some thirty-thousand lines

I wasted half my twenties
At a job I couldn't stand
When I could have sang and played guitar
in a rock and roll band

Oh, I just keep on sinking
To these depths of misery
So next time you're out drinking
Won't you pour one out for me?

The circumstances led here
I couldn't change them if I tried
My dreams are all deferred
And all my hopes have been died
The oil rigs are burning
And the reservoirs are dry
The rich keep getting richer
And the rest hardly get by

Fix me something strong
And coat the rim with salt and lime
My prospects have been blasted
And the rent won't be on time

Go and tell the barkeep
Pull that bottle from the shelf
So he can pour one out for me
And then a second for yourself

Things have always gone the way
Of endless wars and deadly plagues
The difference only is today
You're wanted to concede
That a couple million lives
Are just fewer mouths to feed
And human extinction
Is all but guaranteed

Human extinction
Is all but guaranteed

Oh, I just keep on sinking
To these depths of misery
So next time you're out drinking

Pour one out for me
And pour a second for yourself
And another seven billion more
For everybody else
