Pass me the bottle or pass me the gun   Right about now I'll take either one   A land of murders and maniacs, junkies and cracks   It's a bottle of scotch then I fade to black   So I'm looking for an answer to an unknown question   But all I hear is 'Let that be a lesson'   It's better than down the road   That's what I've been told      Lookin' back I know I should have listened   Lookin' back I know I should have listened   Every day that I'm still livin'   I look back and I know I should have listened, c'mon      First one down, five more to go   Six pack therapy, it's all that I know   So I'm starting over, brick by brick   No idea what's next and I'm stuck in the thick   Oh I drank my way to the streets alone   I drank my way, no house, no home   That's what I've been told      Lookin' back I know I should have listened   Lookin' back I know I should have listened   Every day that I'm still livin'   I look back and I know I should have listened, c'mon      She's a black widow, she'll rip out your heart   You told me that from the very start   I said 'No Dave, you must be mistaken   This heart right here won't be a breakin'   How did you know at The Echo that night   Mr. Dave Sloan once again you were right   I drank my way, no house, no home   That's what I've been told      Lookin' back I know I should have listened   Lookin' back I know I should have listened   Every day that I'm still livin'   I look back and I know I should have listened, c'mon
