Melody Mann: Music

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)
• MP3 short clip, lo-fi play (modem)

Not much to say about this song, except that it's not really autobiographical. Every Texas band has to have at least one song about drinkin' and smokin'. -Kelly

********************
It's late at night and I'm all alone
And I've got one hand on the bottle and the other on the phone
Hoping that you'll call and say that you were wrong
But deep inside I know that I've been waiting way too long

(Chorus)
So I guess I'll pour myself another shot
And take another toke
Another love gone bad (job I've had/deal gone south)
That's all she wrote
I've gotten myself into one fine mess
Now I'm working on a state of higher unconsciousness

It's another day at work just like the one before
And I've got one foot on the ladder and the other out the door
Knowing that I'd give it all away for just a song
Once again my boss has told me that I best be moving on

(Chorus)

Well the odds were in my favor so how could I have known
That I'd have one bet on a dollar and the other on a loan
Wondering if there's something left that I can pawn
But the bank has all my money and I'm still overdrawn

(Chorus)
