[Verse 1]
Dropouts paid in alcohol
Late night longshots at the bar
Waitin' and waitin' and waitin' on a phone call
My one true love is this cheap guitar
Everybody's flyin' in a harmony rocket
Everybody's sleepin' on a hardwood floor
You got two two-dollar bills in your pocket
You've got no idea when you'll get more
[Chorus 1]
But that's alright
It's goin' down downtown
We got nothin', but
Nothin's good enough for the dropouts
[Verse 2]
Buildings made of bricks and mortar
Mockingbirds up in the sky
Man, I hated going to high school
All I wanted was to learn how to fly
[Chorus 2]
But that's alright
Turns out you don't need wings
When you've got whiskey
And guitar strings
About midnight
We gon' get real loud
We got nothin', but
Nothin's good enough for the dropouts
Dropouts paid in alcohol
Late night longshots at the bar
Waitin' and waitin' and waitin' on a phone call
My one true love is this cheap guitar
Everybody's flyin' in a harmony rocket
Everybody's sleepin' on a hardwood floor
You got two two-dollar bills in your pocket
You've got no idea when you'll get more
[Chorus 1]
But that's alright
It's goin' down downtown
We got nothin', but
Nothin's good enough for the dropouts
[Verse 2]
Buildings made of bricks and mortar
Mockingbirds up in the sky
Man, I hated going to high school
All I wanted was to learn how to fly
[Chorus 2]
But that's alright
Turns out you don't need wings
When you've got whiskey
And guitar strings
About midnight
We gon' get real loud
We got nothin', but
Nothin's good enough for the dropouts
