Lyrics:
We blew our minds out the night before
On Mexican lettuce and cold Lone Star
Now we’re drivin’ to a gig too far
We can’t help the way that we are
Last night we sold out, we had it wired
Tonight we couldn’t get arrested if we set ourselves on fire
Still we’re pickin’ on these guitars
Brother we can’t help the way that we are
Can I sing to you, the truth about the blues
And the heartache that we all go through
It ain’t the ex-wife or the whiskey
Or the life of a gypsy
Just the toll on the souls of me and you
So now we’re up there on the stage
Just pickin’ for the wealthy and the minimum wage
And we’d do it for nothin’ or drinks from the bar
Cuz we can’t help the way that we are
