Sitting around it‘s the same old story nothing to do And this day‘s mad boring well I heard around that idle Hands are the devil‘s playground I‘ve had enough And I‘ve got to find some action I need some good time love Some satisfaction but it seems my lover is nowhere around I‘m sick and tired and I feel I‘m growing old I grab my bottle And I head out on the road slowly twist the cap And then I force it down next thing you know I‘m in an abandoned ghost town it‘s unfamiliar And my burden‘s getting heavy I found a shady tree Down beneath the levy needless to say I fell asleep in the ditch Little did I know I would be sleeping with the fish la llarona Come and carry me away I got carried away now somebody carry me home
I laid down by the water to rest and to dream But I stumbled upon the ghost of old jim beam His eyes were soulless and black as the night I challenged his punk ass to a bare-knuckle fight I felt I needed something even though I had plenty but Now I‘m falling down and my bottles almost empty It seems my addiction it‘s causing friction I cannot function and it‘s holding me down I cannot function it‘s causing friction And my addiction it has turned me to a clown Well needless to say, he won and won big now My eyes are soulless and blacker than his a deflated ego- No reason to live I could hear the water building And the levy start to give a ragtag rag doll covered In my own blood I used to be much stronger man I used to be a stud grab on and hold tight 'cause the town‘s About to flood turn your houses into shambles And your castles into mud swing low sweet chariot come And carry me away I got carried away somebody carry me home
