Did your boots stop working
Did your truck breakdown
Did you burn through money
Did your ex find out
Where there’s a will, there’s a way
And I’m damn sure you lost it
Didn’t even say goodbye
Just wish I knew what caused it
Was the whiskey flowing
Were you in a fight
Did the nurse come get you
It’s your alibi
I made my way back to LA
And that’s where you’ll be forgotten
In 40 years you’ll still be here drunk
Washed up in Austin
