Persuaded, paraded, enebriated, and down

Still aware of everything life carries on without

'Cause there's one too many faces with dollar sign smiles

Got to find the shortest path to the bar for a while

A long way from happiness

In a three-hour-away town

Whiskey bottle over Jesus

Not forever, just for now

Not forever, just for now

There's a trouble around, it's never far away

The same trouble's been around for a life and a day

I can't forget the sound, 'cause it's here to stay

The sound of people chasing money and money getting away

A long way from happiness

In a three-hour-away town

Whiskey bottle over Jesus

Not forever, just for now

Not forever, just for now

In between the dirt and disgust there must be

Some air to breathe and something to believe

Liquor and guns the sign says quite plain

Somehow life goes on in a place so insane

A long way from happiness

In a three-hour-away town

Whiskey bottle over Jesus

Not forever, just for now

Not forever, just for now
