Drunk, Tired & Mean - Nine Pound Hammer

The way you talk makes me ignore every single word

So I think of something else and fake it with the few I think I’ve heard

She used to pray each night for God to come and wash away my sins

But I’d just wake up and do them all over again

I knew it wouldn’t last, you never bothered to ask

I’m just another bum who hopped on the wrong train

You’re lucky you’re just my wife because I’ve been like this my whole life

I was born drunk, tired and mean

I was brought up by desperate fools

Trying to drink away a small town curse

Until the day I met you baby

Things just started getting worse

Now I’m too old to even remember

Just what might have been

But I sure as hell wouldn’t do any of this again

I knew it wouldn’t last, you never bothered to ask

I’m just another bum who hopped on the wrong train

You’re lucky you’re just my wife because I’ve been like this my whole life

I was born drunk, tired and mean
