Leaving Victoria

lyrics

Got to get myself a glass of what made the south the south
Wash the taste of all your lying kisses from out of my mouth
There is little that comes easy in these times, I have found
But it is seldom what comes easy is ever worth keeping around

I’m leaving Victoria
In a state of euphoria
But only because I know I’m coming back

You go to bed each night a hero and wake up the next day a tramp
When your life is on the road and your home is wherever your hat lands
A life I wouldn’t change for all the riches in this world and the next
I’ll remain a man out of time ‘til these bones have been laid to rest

I know it sounds crazy but it doesn’t get better than this
when you hit rock bottom you’ve got nothing left to lose that you’d miss
I’ve got rolling thunder, the last of the reefer, a couple of Budvar and a bottle of wine
And a feeling deep in my heart it will be just fine

I’ve got my guitar and a bottle to drink from
I’m thinking I’ve been singing sad songs for too long
I’m heading back home to get myself on track
I’m leaving Victoria
In a state of euphoria
But only because I know that I’m coming back
