Out on the road playing with bands we don’t know Hope this one’s a better show, I hope the kids will show at all They probably won’t, it makes me miss back home It makes me feel alone, it makes me change my tone and ask:
Oh Nostalgia, what have you done for me lately? You won’t buy me a round tonight, or back me up in a fight. Oh Nostalgia, with every mile I drive, every step I strive Every leap that turns into a dive I can feel something deep down die And what’s dying is what’s keeping me alive
I get into these day-drunk stews That turn into binge drink feuds between my contrasting moods Between my daydream prose and my heartbroke woes When I should have dignity and don’t, act with integrity but won’t
So I sit on the curb and call you from my cell And try and act like the night went well And you ask if I’ve had a few And I guarantee you that’s more than true
And I sit on the curb and call you from my cell And try and act like the night wasn’t hell And you ask if I’ve had a few And all I hope is that I can sober up tomorrow
