[Verse 1]
AMe and a big Dave were just trying to stay upEright
We were chasing white lines and warping our minds last Anight
We were killing the time though we sure didn't know it
DHunting down rhymes with a Kentucky poet
EMe and big Dave were just trying to stay Aalive
[Verse 2]
AThere's some folks around town
That might cuss our names down to the fEloor
They might claim that were loners
No account stoners and Amore
It's the same kind of people claim to be chosen
DTheir ears made of stone and their tongues made of poison
ThEe doctrine they preach has got nothing that they can Ateach me
[Solo] 
(Not super acccurate, but close enough)

WAell I don't know if Dave hates the same kind of hate that I Edo
He knows that I know that he's been cut down by it Atoo
Well people get talking 'bout things that we uses
DI ain't in the business of making excuses
EMe and big Dave were just trying to stay Aalive
This whole world's full of ghosts
That I believe that most folks can't Esee
The particular demons that reason with big Dave anAd me
DDon't cross him, don't boss him, he's Awild in his sorrow, he's ridin' and hidin' his Epain
DDon't fight him, don't spite him, lAet's wait till tomorrEow maybe he'll ride on Aagain

[Verse 1]

A E

Me and a big Dave were just trying to stay upright

We were chasing white lines and warping our minds last night

We were killing the time though we sure didn't know it

Hunting down rhymes with a Kentucky poet

E A

Me and big Dave were just trying to stay alive

[Verse 2]

There's some folks around town

That might cuss our names down to the floor

They might claim that were loners

No account stoners and more

It's the same kind of people claim to be chosen

Their ears made of stone and their tongues made of poison

E A

The doctrine they preach has got nothing that they can teach me

[Solo]

Well I don't know if Dave hates the same kind of hate that I do

He knows that I know that he's been cut down by it too

Well people get talking 'bout things that we uses

Me and big Dave were just trying to stay alive

This whole world's full of ghosts

That I believe that most folks can't see

The particular demons that reason with big Dave and me

D A E

Don't cross him, don't boss him, he's wild in his sorrow, he's ridin' and hidin' his pain

D A E A

Don't fight him, don't spite him, let's wait till tomorrow maybe he'll ride on again
