Too many nobodies, too many cars
Business is booming with California stars
They don’t know the way of living in towns
Unless you live in Denver, how about you get out
Get out of Colorado, get out of here
We don’t want you around
No need to move, we’ll come down to you
If we want to make cities out of towns
Too many nobodies, too many cars
Business is booming with California stars
They don’t know the way of living in towns
Unless you live in Denver, how about you get out
We’ve got the mountains, we’ve got the lakes
The West side of Kansas and some gay parades
And pot clouds big enough where everyone gets stoned
And camp sites where you can’t get on your phone
Too many nobodies, too many cars
Business is booming with California stars
They don’t know the way of living in towns
Unless you live in Denver, how about you get out
It’s wonderful out here where the rocks are bleeding red
That’s at least what our welcome sign says
If you’re going to move here, you can move down to Pueblo
Where the neighbors all hate you and there’s nowhere to go
Too many nobodies, too many cars
Business is booming with California stars
They don’t know the way of living in towns
Unless you live in Denver, how about you get out

A Couple Pairs Of Shoes

I make a few bucks every other day
I put it all in the bank
My car got towed from staying the night
And my boss didn't pitch a dime
Everything’s going fine
Nineteen and killing time
I got no money, someone took my car
And all I’ve got is an old guitar
And a couple pairs of shoes
Well, late at night, just across the street
Albertacos in Colorado Springs
Where people get shot and people get stabbed
It’s the best place you could eat
Everything’s going fine
Nineteen and killing time
I got no money, someone took my car
And all I’ve got is an old guitar
And a couple pairs of shoes
We’re getting drunk and we’re underage
There’s naked people running around the place
There’s no other side, the grass here’s green
I love Colorado Springs
Everything’s going fine
Nineteen and killing time
I got no money, someone took my car
And all I’ve got is an old guitar
And a couple pairs of shoes
A couple pairs of shoes
A couple pairs of shoes

Vulgar Blues

A fag is a cigarette and gay means happy
Chicks have tits if chickens married cows
And I caulked my wall just to fill that hole
I’m a master baiter when it comes to trout
There’s a chink in my armor, someone get it out
A hooker is a glass when the drink is a whiskey
I got some BJ’s not too far from the corner
I went and ate there, it was me and my lady
Full on sailing, full on sailing on
Full on sailing, on dictionary dot com
A tranny is a part of anybody’s car
And Dick is a name for a man called Richard
And did you know ass is there in the Bible
It’s basically a horse, quit thinking that I curse
A blanket can be a fire retardant
The Human Torch is a flame or something
Don’t take anything out of context
Pussies are cats and they need some taming
Full on sailing, full on sailing on
Full on sailing, on dictionary dot com
What is that word that rappers like to say?
I’m thinking that it starts with an ’N’
As you can see, I didn't say anything
You’re the one that said it in your head
Have you ever been to dicks dot com?
Hoping that you would find the store
It’s not the right site, but Dicks has goods
Like balls and bullets and more
Full on sailing, full on sailing on
Full on sailing, on dictionary dot com

I can’t find my way to my car
I can’t find my way to my car
No I haven’t found it yet
Since the last bar, I haven't checked
Getting this drunk takes way too long
But lord knows I’m having fun
I’m going to every bar
I’m going to every bar
I’m gonna get two beers at a time
Just in case it takes a long while
For the next one, but that’s alright
I’ve got this other one here, there’s plenty of time
I like to get drunk when I feel like
I’m coming down with the blues
Ooh baby, I got them blues
Ooh and I’m singing too
I can’t make no money
I can’t make no money
There’s too many people driving around
Hiding toll money from the bums in town
Well, some of these bums need money to eat
I think I saw you drive right by me just last week
I like to get drunk when I feel like
I’m coming down with the blues
Ooh baby, I got them blues
Ooh and I’m singing too

Living In The Truck

I don’t make nothing playing the blues
But I could make some good money selling lemonade
If I ain’t doing nothing, I probably can’t afford shoes
But if I am doing something, then I’ve got something to lose
Living in the truck ain’t so bad
Taking showers when it rains
And I can’t afford these cigarettes
Because lighters and music cost the same
Did you know you need to get a permit just to play the guitar outside?
You can’t even play a cover of Wagon Wheel without your ass getting fined
I played the guitar for hours on the corner, didn't make nothing
But passerby-er’s say that someday, I could amount to something
Living in the truck ain’t so bad
Taking showers when it rains
And I can’t afford these cigarettes
Because lighters and music cost the same
I don’t live for nothing, I live for everything
I believe that if you’ve got a voice, then you need to sing
I didn't come down just to drink all of your cold beer
I come down because I goddamn wanted to play here
Living in the truck ain’t so bad
Taking showers when it rains
And I can’t afford these cigarettes
Because lighters and music cost the same
