Lyrics
Dropouts paid in alcohol Late-night longshots at the bar Waitin' and waitin' and waitin' on a phone call My one true love is this cheap guitar Everybody flyin' in a harmony rocket Everybody's sleepin' on a hardwood floor You got two two-dollar bills in your pocket You've got no idea when you'll get more But that's alright It's goin' down, down, down We got nothin' But nothin's good enough for the dropouts Buildings made of bricks and mortar Mockingbirds up in the sky Man I hated going to high school All I wanted was to learn how to fly But that's alright Turns out you don't need wings When you've got whiskey And guitar strings About midnight We gon' get real loud We got nothin', but Nothin's good enough for the dropouts In a parallel universe, everybody's wasted In another life where we all live In the straight world, everybody thinks we've lost it Oh, but we all see what a joke it is I know you Even if I don't know your name The real world Can't be really lame You gotta make your own sunshine When you're underground We got nothin', but Nothin', nothin', nothin', nothin' Nothin's good enough for the dropouts We're the dropouts We're the dropouts We're the dropouts Aw, yeah
