lyrics

It's a long ways that's holding me down
And I'm holding on to you
But the onliest way for me to be all day
Is alone with the loneliest tune

And the rain's been falling down
Ain't we all fallen, too?
And the prettiest of girls in this whole fallen world
Left to pine with the grittiest of blues

So me and the boys we'll start making some noise
and together we can make it all pretty
We will stomp where we stand with our bottles in hand
Make the best of this god-awful city

Somewhere, someone once told me
That alone is only letting go
and the surest of things that this crazy life brings
is a comfort in the lowest of lows

So me and the boys we'll start making some noise
and together we can make it all pretty
We will stomp where we stand with our bottles in hand
Make the best of this god-awful city

So me and the boys we'll start making some noise
and together we can make it all pretty
We will stomp where we stand with our bottles in hand
Make the best of this god-awful city

So me and the boys we'll start making some noise
and together we can make it all pretty
We can stomp where we stand with our brothers in hand
Make the best of this god-awful city
