h Verse 1

Big fat rat by the side of the road Rain comes down now he's got no home

Picked him up and dried him out He's got nothing to squeak about

Verse 2

You took me in, at the time of my life

When I was scared to go outdoors

You hosed me down when I was going to crack

I don't know why I'm looking back

Chorus

I'm heading south for the winter I'd even shed my coat for youI'm having doubts for the future The grass is greener, The sun is out

I'm with you and we're flying south

Verse 3

We got up at the break of the day,

And ran down to the seaTook in a movie in the afternoon, Made you mine by the light of the moon

Outro

Sad old man at the end of his days

Looks a lot like meCan't pick him up, or shake him down

Come fly down south with me

You keep looking over but I won't complainI think you've got something if it's all the sameI crashed my car on the highwayI'd make you more welcome some other day

I thInk I've been hasty in writing you offIt's just I hate mornings if I'm feeling roughI'll make you some dinner it'll taste real nice My best friend lost two teeth when he got into a fight

And though it's the end of the weekAnd you've had a good dayhow can you say these are wonderful times? I wAs watching a movie about the wild west It's funny the hero came out looking second bestI could try acting tough, if that's what you'd likepeople might like that, but not my ex-wife

And though it's the end of the weekAnd you've had a good dayhow can you say these are wonderful times?

And though it's the end of the weekAnd I've got through all that shithow can you possibly say these are wonderful times?

ooh lA lA-lA, ooh lA lA-lA, ooh lA lA-lA

how can you possibly say these are wonderful tIMes?

LookS Good To me EONEThere's a guy going mad on the

telephone

Something about he hasn't got no

home

I'm traveling light, I didn't bring no

bag

Ditched my woman when she lost her

rag

The whisky's great

The view's not bad

Think I'll stay another week

ChorusI could stay here tonight, I think I'll

sleep on it

I could stay here tonight, I think I'm

into it

The way it looks, I'm gonna need a

new home

This sure looks good to me

TwoMy luck changed at the 3.15, Backed a

nag name of Evergreen

I lost the bet and wound up broke, I

like your bar, they're pleasant folks

They'd buy me drinks

'Cos I make them laugh

Think I'll be on my way

ChorusI could stay here tonight, I think I’ll

sleep on it

I could stay here tonight, I think I’m

into it

The way it looks, I’m gonna need a

new home

This sure looks good to me

ThreeI made my home at the top of the

hill, And I can see for miles

And it looks good to me

And it looks good to me

It sure looks good to me

the tractor from the farm next door ran over my old dad

My mother called the doctor, the doctor called the priest

we buried him soon after in the church yard down the street

I’ve got so low things have to change

I don’t know which way’s up

sooner or later, I’m gonna have good luck

I went down to the river and I found my dear old friend

I’m glad to see he’s walking now his legs are on the mend

he gave me back my fishing pole, some maggots and a knife

I suppose I can forgive him, but stealing just ain’t right

It started kinda quiet

Down in O’Ryans Bar

Rufus cracked some Jokes

Wade took the laughs too far

Tyler aint the sharpest

Fights just like an ape

O’Ryans Bar exploded

When Ty beat up on Wade

ChorusWhat Can I say, well it’s all in a day, down

O’Ryans Bar...

It’s torn and it’s frayed but we like it that way,

Keep the greenbacks flowing and the girls will

fill your glass

O’Ryans Bar...

Verse 2

Wilbur dived for cover

the barman pulled a gun

A bar stool slammed on Jackson

And Jed began to run

Cindy started screaming

The wasted guy looked up

while Beau rolled round with Casey

In a lake of beer and blood

ChorusWhat Can I say, well it’s all in a day, down

O’Ryans Bar...

It’s torn and it’s frayed but we like it that way,
