This Losing Fight

Waking up staring at the ceiling
Trying hard to fight the feeling
That you ain't gonna get up today.

Roll over see she left a message
But you ain't gonna bother to check it
Cause you know exactly what she'll say.

Wish you could buy reparation flowers
But you make nine dollars an hour
And the whole things just gonna wilt and die anyway.

[Chorus:]
Oh and your neck is cracking the heels
You're off the wagon and under the wheels
And i can't tell what it'd mean to win,much less to lose
And it's one more morning of coming down
One more day in this damn town
To get your head right, for one more night
In a losing fight with the blues.

And it's waking up thinking wish i could
Going to bed thinking thought i would
But all you know is your fourth grade posters lie
And it's little blue pills in a Great Depression
It's bad girls in a booze recession
Guess its all one big life lesson then you die.

[Chorus:]
Oh and your neck is cracking the heels
You're off the wagon and under the wheels
And i can't tell what it'd mean to win,much less to lose
And it's one more morning of coming down
One more day in this damn town
To get your head right, for one more night
In a losing fight with the blues.

This losing fight...

[Chorus:]
Oh and your neck is cracking the heels
You're off the wagon and under the wheels
And i can't tell what it'd mean to win,much less to lose
And it's one more morning of coming down
One more day in this damn town
To get your head right, for one more night
In a losing fight.
