Pacing outside in my new clothes Kicking bald tires with my steel toes Rancho Bar's not open yet So let's torch a couple heaters around the fire pit Make that call when the summer ends Burn that bridge when I come to it Let's kick this night into high gear Get another round for my boys here You know, I haven't done much with a lot I've been given Treat you like a crutch and a lover and a living I'm still sleeping, and I say I'll be a minute You're still talking, and I ask you if you're finished And you're not, but I want You to stop, you forgot That you never had to choose Between losing me and finally breaking through I haven't done much, but I did it for you Your new shit sounds kind of watered down I cashed in before you bottomed out Blacked out at Mickey's, haven't seen you since But I heard you had my back with your new friends Remember that night at Salt Lake? A couple hundred screenagers rushing the stage Felt like a rat in a lab maze All I ever cared about was keeping you safe You know, I haven't done much with a lot I've been given Treat you like a crutch and a lover and a living I'm still sleeping, and I say I'll be a minute You're still talking, and I ask you if you're finished And you're not, but I want You to stop, you forgot That you never had to choose Between losing me and finally breaking through I haven't done much, but I did it for you You must be tired of the rise and grind You never did know where to draw the line Except when it came to you and me We had a couple good years, though, didn't we? You know, I haven't done much with a lot I've been given Treat you like a crutch and a lover and a living I'm still sleeping, and I say I'll be a minute You're still talking, and I ask you if you're finished And you're not, but I want You to stop, you forgot That you never had to choose Between losing me and finally breaking through I haven't done much, but I did it for you
