Learnin' to Drown

Well, I been sleepin' in my car
 Been movin' fast
 But it seems I ain't gone far
 And I can't believe
 Aw, what I am
 And what I used to be
 I'm barely a man and livin' hard
 My father killed himself
 And my mother hit the bar
 Well, ain't it funny?
 Ain't it funny how
 The world'll set you free?
 I spent my whole life wonderin' why I'm down
 I don't feel easy if the blues don't come around
 And my face don't look right without a frown
 Well, if you can't swim, you better learn to drown
 Well, I been stealin' all my meals
 I been gettin' by
 Every time the well runs dry
 I tell myself
 If it don't kill me
 Then I guess I'll never die
 Well, I been actin' like a mule
 'Cause I'd rather hear you laugh
 Than to be here with my mind
 And all my thoughts
 Well, I guess I'll always be the laughin' fool
 I spent my whole life wonderin' why I'm down
 I don't feel easy if the blues don't come around
 And my face don't look right without a frown
 Well, if you can't swim, you better learn to drown
 ♪
 Well, I thought about closin' the door
 And endin' it all
 Like my father did before
 But it ain't worth
 All the people who won't see me anymore
 Well, there ain't much that lasts too long
 All the rights that I took wrong
 All the lefts that still ain't gone
 They will be here
 Here in my sad bastard song
 I spent my whole life wonderin' why I'm down
 I don't feel easy if the blues don't come around
 And my face don't look right without a frown
 Well, if you can't swim, you better learn to drown
