When I was 10, first of class
The future was bright and the stars aligned
Or so they said
I cashed their dreams like they were mine
Hoped I wouldn't disappoint
And that I'd never let them down
Now I'm this bum
Singing songs of shattered hearts
Poor and lonesome
I guess I've had it coming
Pour me some rum
I'll show you all the broken pieces of
Myself in a box
When I was 20, got this good job
Just like any good kid should
And I got lost
Thought I'd better climb the ladder
Sure that something was up there
Some answer to it all
Now I'm this bum
Singing songs of shattered hearts
Poor and lonesome
I guess I've had it coming
Pour me some rum
I'll show you all the broken pieces of
Myself in a box
Still haven't found the answer
But I think I know where it hides
In this venue...
Singing with you x2
