No Show Blues
Song by Ben Bostick
E
I got a job in the valley but today I didn’t go
I need a day off but the boss said hell no
I’m gonna get drunk and smoke three packs of Marlboros
And part of me thinks I ain’t never gonna make it back home
I got a wife at the house, but she got no love for me
Plopped on the couch on her phone watching TV
The woman I married wasn’t nearly so goddam mean
And she didn’t suck down so many benzodiazepines
I’m gonna go to the bank and cash out my account
Drive straight to the tavern and drink a disgusting amount
Spin my pistol and baby you better watch out
'Cuz wherever it points I’m coming to your town
I had a job in the valley, but I doubt I do anymore
I took a day off and then I took four more
Been drunk since I left and chain-smoking Marlboros
And part of me thinks I ain’t never gonna make it back home
I need a day off but the boss said hell no
I’m gonna get drunk and smoke three packs of Marlboros
And part of me thinks I ain’t never gonna make it back home
I got a wife at the house, but she got no love for me
Plopped on the couch on her phone watching TV
The woman I married wasn’t nearly so goddam mean
And she didn’t suck down so many benzodiazepines
I’m gonna go to the bank and cash out my account
Drive straight to the tavern and drink a disgusting amount
Spin my pistol and baby you better watch out
'Cuz wherever it points I’m coming to your town
I had a job in the valley, but I doubt I do anymore
I took a day off and then I took four more
Been drunk since I left and chain-smoking Marlboros
And part of me thinks I ain’t never gonna make it back home
