lyrics

I just want to do my laundry
live in a cheap apartment down on the west side
roll with the tide
change locations every time I start feeling like the neighbors are never gonna change
wake back up in that slow mode
glad I ain't got to live to half the s%*# that I issue

I check my alarm clock, it's 2:33
Got no place to go, just need some movement in me
I kind of like the Chinese joint down the way
Been livin' here for 5 years and still nobody knows my name

and sitting on the roof of my apartment is fine
I'll be in business 'till I'm finished with a drinkin' some wine
and I'll be jammin' on Freebird,
'til the sun goes down on me

I wake up at 3 today, forty-five missed calls
they're bound to add up when I don't answer at all
I don't know that I'd have much to say, anyway

and I can't remember having a job even once
but somehow I've been working out the end of the month
I'm not sure how I been doing it, but I'm starting to think
between the bush that I cut and the whiskey I drink
I can count on the rest coming out in the wash

and sitting on the roof of a church sometimes
reminds me how you left me with a lurch in my mind
...but since then I've bounced back again
and I don't need to find meaning,
just words I can rhyme to
and any place that I can go where I couldn't find you
is good enough for me, for the time to be

and I will give my number to anyone at all
but I will always hang out a prayer that you'll never call
can I confess that I just wanna live like this
jerry rigging everything life to make just about anything fit,
score for the day is what I can get away with
Ohhhhh
'til the sun goes down on me
