Rode Hard

i could ruin my reputation around here
 but this town don't know me from eve
 somebody put something in the water
 i swear i only had one beer
 maybe i'd better leave
 i walk these streets with a dazed expression
 hey ain't you got somewhere you're supposed to be
 every prank phone call and minor insurrection
 sin, bad check, heck, they can pin it all on me
 rode hard and put away wet
 driven round the bend
 got far down as i could get
 but i'm going back out again
 a person could get their hand blown off reaching
 there's some things you really shouldn't touch
 a guy told me that i was asking for trouble
 i had to kick his ass, i didn't like it much
 a girl gets tired of doing all this for nothing
 you look around and everyone's got retirement funds
 they're all socking away saving for the future
 while i buy shoes, shave my legs and see how fast i can run
 rode hard and put away wet...
 it's way too dark in this old stall
 i can't find a pen to write my number on the wall
 yeah i got brains and a good hair conditioner
 i wanna be ready when they take that aerial shot
 went by the parish house last night for dinner
 lively conversation but the food was not so hot
 and what's there to look forward to but ice cream and t.v.
 i'd like to meet the man giving milk a bad name
 peeking in windows at different happy families
 while the lonely so and so's y'know
 we all look the same
 rode hard and put away wet...
