Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Spent three days pissin' and moanin' about bein' alive Then I ran out of whiskey and excuses to hide Sat on a rock, watched the sun go down Thought about the fire, thought about this town Hell was a basement, earth is a ditch Guess I'll take the one where the beer ain't mostly shit [Chorus] Resurrection's for cowards — so here I am Took the easy way out and crawled back to the land Didn't earn it, didn't want it, didn't ask for second chance But here I am breathin', so I might as well dance Resurrection's for cowards, and I'm the biggest one around So pour a drink and step aside — I'm takin' back this town [Verse 2] Tried to be a good corpse, tried to stay dead Tried to let the worms have what's left of my head But the worms took one bite and spit me right out Said "you're too damn salty, we're gonna pass, no doubt" So here I am, rotten and mean The worst thing back from the grave you've ever seen [Chorus] Resurrection's for cowards — so here I am Took the easy way out and crawled back to the land Didn't earn it, didn't want it, didn't ask for second chance But here I am breathin', so I might as well dance Resurrection's for cowards, and I'm the biggest one around So pour a drink and step aside — I'm takin' back this town [Bridge — spoken, almost warm] You know what I figured out? [beat] Nothin'. Not a damn thing. I died, went to hell, got evicted, came back — And I still don't know why my ex-wife left me. [small laugh] Some things just are. And I just am. So pour the whiskey. Shut up. And let me be. [Instrumental break — guitar solo that's not flashy, just honest. Like a man nodding at himself in the mirror.] [Outro — sung, quieter, almost peaceful] Resurrection's for cowards — so here I am Didn't want the sequel, but I'll play the hand Dealt myself a bad one, that's nothin' new But a bad hand's better than no hand — that much I finally knew [spoken, picking up the guitar:] ...now let's go cause some trouble. [strums one chord. Holds it. Fades into the next track.]
