Testing the Waters

I think it's time we reassess
You get the bottle
I'll bring the rest
We'll get into a big ol' mess
And sort this whole thing out

I told 'em how it's gonna be
But I think Johnny's on to me
I'm losing the autonomy
I've learned to live without

I thought that I could outrun the fight
But time was never on my side
Them Rolling Stones, I guess they lied
Musicians always do

Now, all my friends have run amuck
I think Juanita stole my truck
It always comes back down to luck
And that comes back down to you

So buckle up we're doing this
Don't pretend you don't know who this is
The routes a bit circuitous
But we'll get there all the same

Hey hey, oh my Lord
I think I can ill afford
To be alone, so it's for sure
I'm never gonna be with you
My whole life is in arears
I've been digging in for years
It's becoming crystal clear
I'm never gonna be with you
I'm never gonna be with you

That year I spent in Mexico
It don't seem all that long ago
Necisito un amigo
Perdonome

The local cops is gettin' thick
And reminiscing makes me sick
A smoke screen and a Jimmy stick
And I'll be on my way

It's 15 hours to LA
But don't put stock in what I say
I'm predisposed to fabricate
We'll get there all the same

Hey hey, oh my Lord
I think I can ill afford
To be alone, so it's for sure
I'm never gonna be with you
My whole life is in arears
I've been digging in for years
It's becoming crystal clear
I'm never gonna be with you
I'm never gonna be with you

All this drama's gettin' old
I've never done as I was told
My sweet Mama, rest her soul
She raised a goddamn fool

If Johnny comes up in this yard
You hit him low and hit him hard
I got the bottle you get the car
We'll sort this whole thing out

Hey hey, oh my Lord
I think I can ill afford
To be alone, so it's for sure
I'm never gonna be with you
My whole life is in arears
I've been digging in for years
It's becoming crystal clear
I'm never gonna be with you
I'm never gonna be with you
No I'm never gonna be with you
