Here Comes a Regular

Well a person can work up a mean mean thirst
 After a hard day of nothin' much at all
 Summer's passed, it's too late to cut the grass
 There ain't much to rake anyway in the fall
 And sometimes I just ain't in the mood
 To take my place in back with the loudmouths
 You're like a picture on the fridge that's never stocked with food
 I used to live at home, now I stay at the house
 And everybody wants to be special here
 They call your name out loud and clear
 Here comes a regular
 Call out your name
 Here comes a regular
 Am I the only one here today?
 Well a drinkin' buddy that's bound to another town
 Once the police made you go away
 And even if you're in the arms of someone's baby now
 I'll take a great big whiskey to ya anyway
 Everybody wants to be someone's here
 Someone's gonna show up, never fear
 'Cause here comes a regular
 Call out your name
 Here comes a regular
 Am I the only one who feels ashamed?
 Kneeling alongside old Sad Eyes
 He says opportunity knocks once then the door slams shut
 All I know is I'm sick of everything that my money can buy
 The fool who wastes his life, God rest his guts
 First the lights, then the collar goes up, and the wind begins to blow
 Turn your back on a pay-you-back, last call
 First the glass, then the leaves that pass, then comes the snow
 Ain't much to rake anyway in the fall
