lyrics

Well these tattoos decorate my arms
Like writing on a bathroom stall
And they're worth about the same
But they make me smile
Remind me of who I am

And that's more than I can say
For anything that finds me these days
If it weren't for hard luck, I'd have none

And that job that leaves you angry
Stressed and unfulfilled
We're killing ourselves just to pay the bills
At one time you may have had the choice
Your choices washed away
Along with the hope of better days

Well sinners keep on sinning
I'll drink till I get my fill
The winter is beginning
To impose its grievous will

And the apartment leaves you lonely
and restless every week
There's nothing to do; pour another drink.
At one time you may have had the choice
your choices have been made
It's out of your hands
Can't run away

And those friends that leave you hanging
Weren't friends from the start
Your bedroom is empty
And darker than your heart
But this time you may still have the choice
So get out there and live
Take what ya got
Make the most of it
