Can’t Quit Now
(back) (listen / download)
Footsteps gettin’ slow
Eyelids hangin’ low
Runnin’ outta’ juice
Day is all but gone
Night is lookin’ long
Words all slapdash loose
But I can’t quit now
Face a greasy mess
Tore up more or less
Fadin’ out to nothin’
Lookin’ like a clown
Smile so upside down
I may not recover
But I can’t quit now
Hungry hurt and thirsty
Bloody beat and dirty
Way out past the line
Dead between the ears
Understatement of the year
Is I’m not doin’ fine
But I can’t quit now
