Ward Davis - The Overpass Lyrics

Well he wakes up nice and dry
Hears the cars and trucks above him rolling by
He lights a cig and takes a swig
He does this every day

Wife and kids weren't enough
Starting running round and drinking way too much
Taking pills, tasting thrills
He lost everything

Somedays he's sober long enough to feel regret
He'll find a bottle, it won't last
Cause he cant bare the thought of what it took to get
what he had to what he had
Under the overpass

He prefers sunshine to rain
'Cause the liquor store's half a mile away
Folks give more, some days it pours
It works out either way

Somedays he's sober long enough to feel regret
He'll find a bottle and it won't last
Cause he cant bare the thought of what it took to get
what he had to what he had
Under the overpass

He's just buying time the only way he knows
Numbing pain he can't get passed
And he'll be there until he's got somewhere to go
Who knows how long he has

He wakes up nice and dry
He's the cars and trucks above him rolling by
He lights a cig and takes a swig
He does this every day
