Last Stand - American Aquarium

She was glassy eyed at the bar

Someone stole the keys to her heart

The neon lights they bent the bottles on the shelf

So she bought another round to feel sorry for herself

She’ll drink when she’s down

She’ll drink when he’s not around

She’ll drink away her paycheck

She’ll drink 'cause she’s trying to forget

On a barstool with time to pass

She peels away the label from a longneck glass

Her cheeks are as red as the leaves in the fall

And she keeps looking down, expecting him to call

She’ll drink when she’s down

She’ll drink when he’s not in town

She’ll drink away her paycheck

She’ll drink 'cause she’s trying to forget

The bottle’s on the desktop, the guitars in my hand

Like a five star general making his last stand

With every passing second, with every painful shot

I realize just who I am and what I’m not

I’ll drink when I’m down

I’ll drink when no one else is around

I’ll drink every dime of my check

I’ll drink 'cause I got so much to forget
