Lyrics

When you watch a friend drift away by the fire light,
‘Cause too many deaths have left you paranoid
And a couple old-time sakers just don’t to the trick
Hit this roach, man, get it over with

Are you playing by the rules again?
Sing the guilty notes of a million ghosts

Well it turns out this Maria comes from way back home
See her up the valley where this story goes
And she told me that she would’a without saying how
Did you know me better for honoring a vow?
Did you know me ever for honoring a vow?

And the walls of every room still know our party lines
Where we’d split the wealth for a lack of spine
And it’s cruel sometimes to face not grown up at all
Out cruisin’ for a bruisin’ till ya fall

Well you should’a seen it coming, but it struck again
Like a birthday gone belligerent
So you pass around the Maker’s to a stranger’s lips
They’re gonna shoot me down for loving this
They’re gonna shoot me down for loving this

Are you playing by the rules, my friend?
Single the guilty notes of a single ghost

And she told me that she would’a done it anyhow
