[Verse 1]
AmI ain’t no scholEar, I don’t write no books
I done spCend my money on the Elast girl honey and she hates my Amguts
I paid my rent Elate, so my landlord’s angrCy
And all this shit keeps pEiling up and tryin’ to hang Amme
AmI give my lovin’ Eon the run (on the run, on the run)C  
So don’t you try to Eslow me down and walk around Amyeah
Sick of tryin’ to sEtrum along, wit’ yo’ love sCong
So leave me here to pEour another drink on the Amrocks
[Hook]
AmAll of this will hEold you
Down onto the gCround until you’re crawlin’ on the Egravel
Like a regular gAmuy
Oh all of this will hEold you, down onto the gCround
Until you’re drowning in your sEorrows with a bottle of Amrye
[Verse 2]
AmI ain’t got no sEavior, I ain’t got no tCime
I know I’m stuck with a problem
That will Ecome through and swallow up my last Amdime
All I wantEed, was some peace and quiCet
To take me out of hEere, before I start a rioAmt
Lost my reaEson I done lost my Cway, I done sat here for hours
And heEard all the songs that the jukebox pAmlays
So keep your sunny Edays away from here
And IC’ll pour the liquor dEown and smile while I sayAm  
AmLife’s been on the rEocks, I’ve taken
CMy last shot at hEolding on to
AmLife’s been on the rEocks, I’ve taken
CMy last shot at hEolding on to
[Hook]
AmAll of this will hEold you
Down onto the gCround until you’re crawlin’ on the Egravel
Like a regular gAmuy
All, all of this will Ehold you, down onto the Cground
Until you’re drowning in your sEorrows with a bottle of Amrye
AmAll of this will hEold you
Down onto the gCround until you’re crawlin’ on the Egravel
Like a regular gAmuy
