Laid off at the factory and I started drinkin' again
They said to keep my head on straight in case they need to call me in
There ain't no more high cotton we're all just sittin' on the ground
Throwin' silver bullet cans and our dreams in the air and shootin' them right down
Well I've lost faith in myself because the company that I keep around
I wake up every morning with a headache it don't seem to go away
I drink a pot of coffee read my fortune and hope that it's wrong
I know she's gonna leave me but I don't wanna face it all alone
So i pick up thirty of my best friends and drink until they're gone
I've lost faith in myself because the company that I keep around
I whipped my cousin's ass because he had a bad attitude
Or maybe it was just that I had had more than a few
I've got to get out of here I can't go on like this
I've got some friends that live in the Midwest but they know I just won't go
It's my fear of tornadoes that keeps me around here
