Here Comes a Regular - The Replacements

Well a person can work up a mean mean thirstafter a hard day of nothin' much at allSummer's passed, it's too late to cut the grassThere ain't much to rake anyway in the fallAnd sometimes I just ain't in the moodto take my place in back with the loudmouthsYou're like a picture on the fridge that's never stocked with foodI used to live at home, now I stay at the houseAnd everybody wants to be special hereThey call your name out loud and clearHere comes a regularCall out your nameHere comes a regularAm I the only one here today?Well a drinkin' buddy that's bound to another townOnce the police made you go awayAnd even if you're in the arms of someone's baby nowI'll take a great big whiskey to ya anywayEverybody wants to be someone's hereSomeone's gonna show up, never fear'cause here comes a regularCall out your nameHere comes a regularAm I the only one who feels ashamed?Kneeling alongside old Sad EyesHe says opportunity knocks once then the door slams shutAll I know is I'm sick of everything that my money can buyThe fool who wastes his life, God rest his gutsFirst the lights, then the collar goes up, and the wind begins to blowTurn your back on a pay-you-back, last callFirst the glass, then the leaves that pass, then comes the snowAin't much to rake anyway in the fall
