My baby told me

You gotta get better if you ever wanna win

And I know that

She's not getting any better man she just sin

I still love her

But I know I was once there wearing them shoes

I'm still hurting

‘Cause the woman I love's giving me the blues

Sitting here sober

But I wonder what shape she'll find me in

I need her under my skin

Like a junkie needs heroin

And I'm never going back to snake n' jakes

The amount of money I spent I could've bought the place

Not to mention that they know my face

Now it's hell getting out the place

So I'm walking the streets tonight

I'm catching some fireflies

Some would say that I'm living a lie

But no more today no more tonight

You could say that I'm under the gun

Nine million miles away from the sun

I've hesitated much too long

But I'm still having fun hope you're having fun

Belly up in an ambulance

I spent sunday making doctor friends

I could've used a pair of depends

I hope that made you laugh ‘cause you know I'm a gentlemen

Heaven found me living didn't find me dead

Got a permanent ash mark on my forehead

But it still couldn't save me from lying in bed

Staring at your clothes in the closet

while I was out of my head

So I'm walking the streets tonight

I'm catching some fireflies

Some would say that I'm living a lie

But no more today no more tonight

You could say that I'm under the gun

Nine million miles away from the sun

I've hesitated much too long

But I'm still having fun hope you're having fun

I'm a peaceful man today

Ain't got no more weekend wars to wage

So give me one more shot babe
