The Poorhouse of Positive Thinking Widespread Panic

I pinch my pennies in a mason jar
Stashin' all my thoughts for the rainy days
See them come and watch them go
Redneck drunks and southern belles

So pick a card, any card
These jokers got no hearts and ten men on the make
Bring them in and take them out
Another lost soul on Music Row
Waiting for that sacred midnight ride

Alcohol: sleeping all day forget your dream
Stand in line all night for a watered-down drink
It's a hard, hard religion, channels souls astray
Gonna hold on for dear life

Yes, alcohol, a good thing you don't get paid to think
And gotta hold...

Alcatraz doesn't seem so bad
Birdman on the rocks your time's a waste
Tide rolls in and jutters out
All washed up, a swollen corpse
Waiting for that sacred midnight ride

In fantasies break your own rules
Insanity is all I see around the room
High Sierra station Inn
An 8 piece family bluegrass band
Waiting for that sacred midnight ride
