Blue collar Eddie and his better half Delores Used to be mantelpieces down at the Black Forest And I don't know if that bar still exists But when it did, so did they, a couple bleeding heart kids Everything volatile, every night rocker style Hop a stool, be discrete, and just watch a while But do your best to keep the level observational Drama is attractive so push it when it takes a pull And each night's are random when you've paid a ransom For the right to sing along with them drinking anthems And these fools paid so many dues that everybody stops to salute But one night after another fight A couple from an opposite table offered an invite Dolores didn't wanna join 'em, wasn't feeling social But Eddie was so aggravated that he had to poke holes He walked over, sat in the dialogue And called at Dolores like some kind of dog (hey girl come here) She can't believe it, she's done, she's had it But she doesn't want to make another scene in this establishment She got up and moseyed over And put her arm up around Eddie's shoulder Nobody's sober, the song is the same Sometimes you stick out your chin to catch the rain You could be a winner, you could be a loser Gotta wake up when you hear the rooster Sometimes it's just too simple to live your life wrong Gotta do what right for you when the time comes You could be a winner, you could be a loser Gotta wake up when you hear the rooster Sometimes it's just too simple to live your life wrong Gotta do what right for you when the time comes The clock keeps drinkin', they keep tickin' There's two more people who get to play positions Samantha and Chuck; not a couple, just roommates Out having too many shots on a Tuesday Who knew they'd be tools for the duo Put a little bit of fire on the fuel It's a kinda blue, intentions ain't cruel But everybody's so ready to bend up the rules Now there's Chuck, staring at Delores Eddie is distracted by Samantha so he doesn't notice And everybody's too fucked up To even assess the mess, much less care enough More whiskey, a pitcher of premium Eddie's getting tipsy, he didn't see it comin' On his way back from a visit with that urinal Tryna straighten out his thoughts and the vertigo Weaves through, stops when he's seen em Picture perfect, it looked just like freedom Dolores on Chuck's, lap kissing him hard Eddie dipped into the winter, left them all at the bar Sometimes ya gotta follow what's felt inside Between the power struggle and selfish pride No one's allowed to cry unfair Because now they both get to drink alone somewhere You could be a winner, you could be a loser Gotta wake up when you hear the rooster Sometimes it's just too simple to live your life wrong Gotta do what right for you when the time comes You could be a winner, you could be a loser Gotta wake up when you hear the rooster Sometimes it's just too simple to live your life wrong Gotta do what right for you when the time comes You could be a winner, you could be a loser Gotta wake up when you hear the rooster Sometimes it's just too simple to live your life wrong Gotta do what right for you when the time comes
