Overnight Low

Lyrics

I was fresh out of money, I thought I'd travel on my thumb I couldn't get a ride, got lost, wound up sharing an underpass with a bum Took awhile then he finally he said you're gonna need a blanket here take one of mine then he handed me a paper bag with a $2.00 bottle of wine He said where the hell you going? I said Chicago well pretty near, he said Chicago's nice, gets a little bit cold this time of year If you ain't been there how's a body supposed to know you've gotta get high to survive that overnight low He said I used to live in Chicago, had a family nice car and a home. But when a man starts drinking too much he usually winds up drinking alone People keep trying to save me, then he let out a little laugh Said what do I need with a cell phone , tie, bunch of bills and a heart attack Then he nodded at the bottle, wrapped himself up good and tight said you better finish that off son it's gonna be a long cold night If you ain't been there how's a body supposed to know you've gotta get high to survive that overnight low Hey old man before you go to sleep there's one more thing I need to know If I get up before you which way do you think would be best for me to go He crushed out a cigarette ran his fingers thru his hair said keep on going down the road you're on son, when you think you're lost you're almost there then we just sat there and watch it start to slow you've gotta get high to survive that overnight low
