Beer Sandwich - S.O.L.

Oh no, it looks like the space race has begun
And no one ever said that this trip would be fun
And oh, Joe, if you said that it was the truth
I would have stayed to take off my shoes
The Santa Cruz sunset looks a lot like rain
And Carlos has landed in the drunk tank again
Feeling a little weary around other people's friends
Thinking that this weekend never should end
Out on the beach there's a girl or two
They got a look saying watching you wanna do?
And if I told myself the truth
We'd be back at her place, taking off our shoes
The snow if falling down all over Reno
There's free ten dollar beers in every Casino
I could take Highway 80 west to Sacramento
But I'd probably just stop by the side of the road
I know there's a promise out on that road
But first I gotta get up and go
And if I told myself the truth
I'd leave this town, go and earn myself some shoes
After what she told me things were looking up
I believed in her, but who I could I trust?
People trying to tell me what I should be dreaming of
And all they ever said is that it was gonna be tough
And all they ever told me is that I wouldn't have enough
Well know I gotta tell them that they're S.O.L.

CHORUS
If you smoke too much you can't get stoned
You're gonna spend all your time feeling lonely when your never alone
Sometimes you feel like you can't do no good
And when it comes time for a change it's always "I would if I could"
Vs. 1
Well no one here is asking for my opinion
And no one here is asking for my advice
But I've had a few too many
The room is dark not spinning
And I think I may have just stepped out of my mind
They closed my tab and said "Quit yer hollerin'
Please, sir, won't you follow me to the door?
We got your name on a list
And it's a name we won't soon forget
So we'd be obliged if you don't show your face here anymore"
CHORUS
Vs. 2
"Well I've been raised on openness and understanding
You can tell by all of these books that I've read
That's why can't possible comprehend
All the people and places I've been
I'm the epitome of erudite and educated"
My daddy had a saying all about opinions
But it shouldn't be repeated in polite company
I'll just keep talking in folks ears
Just waiting and hoping to hear
The slightest bit of interest or sympathy
CHORUS (repeat)
