Written on the first Wah Wah Exit Wound tour, spring 2007
lyrics
VS. 1
Times are desperate, times are rough
But it's Tuesday night and I want to get a little drunk
They said, "Put me on the list as Carlos plus 1,
If I make it up to 'Frisco then we'll have some fun."
Just a few more days and a little more pay
And we'll make it all the way to the golden state
VS. 2
In just a few days the end can begin
I can see it in your eyes and your blood red skin
Pouring all those drinks with those shaky arms
But I bet they always told you it was lack of charm
If you can clean up it's not too late
I know some smiling faces down in the golden state
BRIDGE
Darling you've never been as far as Monterey Bay?
Well, we've got an extra seat if you're going that way
And when I find out what kind of shape I'm in
I'll find a little place where we both can begin
VS. 3
Driving back home through the rain and snow
Sometimes I gotta wonder if this where I want to go
Getting back home with my hours slashed
Just drinking away my last bit of cash
Waiting for a time, I hope it's not too late
And we'll get back on the road to the golden state
