Barstool Blues #1

(by K. Brown)

I’m sittin’ here waitin’ for my ship to come in
But it’s hesitatin’, and my heads in a spin
Maybe I should just go on home

When I walked in this evening I was feelin’ O.K.
But the longer I sit here, I’m just wastin’ away
Maybe it’s time to go home

You know my wife and my kids
They’re all countin’ on me
To fulfill my obligation to their American Dream
But the dream they’re all dreamin
Somehow ain’t comin’ true
Just not sure anymore if it was my dream too

No shine on my shoes
Kickin’ dust up the street
I’m like yesterday’s news
Can’t find the beat
Seems like no sense in just sittin’ here
Singing these blues
So I’m going home

They say lifes in the living, and I suppose that it’s right
But the thing they don’t know is how I wound up here tonight
Maybe I should just go on home

I’m not sure when I detoured, should of zigged when I zagged
Nothing really gets clearer unless you’re  half in the bag
I know it’s time to go home

When I wake up tomorrow
And she asks me where have you been
she'd say you go to hell
I'd say, I already been
And you know I'd be right
Could be that’s why I came in here tonight

No shine on my shoes
Kickin’ dust up the street
I’m like yesterday’s news
Can’t find the beat
Seems like no sense in just sittin’ here
Singing these blues
So I’m going home
