The Regular
(The Replacements)
(capo: 3rd fret)
intro: (2x)
Well a person can work up a mean mean thirst
After a hard day of nothing much at all
The summer's passed it's too late to cut the grass
There ain't much to break anyway in the fall
And sometimes I, just stay in the mood
Take my place and back the loud noise
You're like the picture on the fridg, smelling stucked with food
Used to live at home now I stay at the house
(And) everybody wants to be special here
They call your name out loud and clear
Here comes the regular, call out your name
Here comes a regular, am I the only one here today
Well a drinkin' buddies, there's bound to another town
Then once the police made him go away
And even if you're in the arms of someone's baby now
I'll take a great big whiskey at you (here) anyway
And everybody wants to be someone here
Someone's gonna show up never fear
Here comes the regular, call out your name
Here comes a regular, am I the only one who feels ashamed
Living along side of sadded eyes
Says opportunity knocks once then the door slams shot
All I know is I'm sick of everything that my money can buy
A fool wastes his life, god rests his guts
First the light and the colour goes off
The wind begins to blow
Turn your back on a pay you back last call
First the glass and the leaves that last
Here comes the snow
Ain't much to break anyway in the fall
