Top Songs By The Killigans
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You take and outta luck kid
With the weight of the world crashin' down on the backs of his shoulders
And a white trash girl with no high school degree
Gettin' married in the local bar
[Verse 2]
Neither one had a plan or a helping hand
No one there to guide their way
On the road won't look back on this dead end town
They're gonna burn that bridge today
[Verse 3]
Around midnight they called it quits for the night
Around 4 a.m. they turned in
That little roach motel they tried to wake 'em up early
But were fightin' bourbon whiskey, and gin
[Verse 4]
Headed west through the hills down the back road late
With just a prayer and half a tank of gas
All the folks back home, they just shook their heads
Those damn kids don't stand a chance
[Verse 5]
No one there to bail them out this time
No one there to lean on to
No one there to pass false judgment on
Their little upstart family
Around midnight they called it quits for the night
Around 4 a.m. they turned in
That little roach motel they tried to wake 'em up early
But were fightin' bourbon whiskey, and gin
[Verse 6]
Took a job tending bar at a local pub
For thirty-five dollars a day
Overnight at the train yard packing freight
He never pictured his life this way
But now he's got two kids to feed
And a mortgage that can't be late
On his own, won't look back, better luck tomorrow
Gotta fight for one more day
[Verse 7]
Around midnight they called it quits for the night
Around 4 a.m. they turned in
That little roach motel they tried to wake 'em up early
But were fightin' bourbon whiskey, and gin
[Verse 8]
Around midnight they called it quits for the night
Around 4 a.m. they turned in
That little roach motel they tried to wake 'em up early
But were fightin' bourbon whiskey, and gin
