Well a person can work up a mean mean thirst
                                   
after a hard day of nothin' much at all
                                        
Summer's passed, it's too late to cut the grass
                                        
There ain't much to rake anyway in the fall
                         
And sometimes I just ain't in the mood
                                       
to take my place in back with the loudmouths
                                                  
You're like a picture on the fridge that's never stocked with food
                                          
I 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 a regular
           
Call out your name
           
Here comes a regular
                        
Am I the only one here today?

Well a drinkin' buddy that's bound to another town
Once the police made you go away
And even if you're in the arms of someone's baby now
I'll take a great big whiskey to ya anyway

Everybody wants to be someone's here
Someone's gonna show up, never fear
'cause here comes a regular
Call out your name
Here comes a regular
Am I the only one who feels ashamed?

Kneeling alongside old Sad Eyes
He says opportunity knocks once then the door slams shut
All I know is I'm sick of everything that my money can buy
The fool who wastes his life, God rest his guts

First the lights, then the collar goes up, and the wind begins to blow
Turn your back on a pay-you-back, last call
First the glass, then the leaves that pass, then comes the snow
Ain't much to rake anyway in the fall
