24 HOURS OF MISERY

Yesterday was awful
Last night was worse
Today I’m feeling pretty good
But man, I’m dying of thirst
Beer will do that to you if you let it have its way
So I won’t drown my sorrows for longer than a day

I’m much better now
24 hours of misery
Is all that I’ll allow
I’m much better now
Putting you behind me
Was as easy as it sounds
24 hours of misery
Is all that I’ll allow

Don’t know why you left me
And I don’t even care
You’re not going to break my heart
Cuz I don’t have a spare
Don’t you bother calling to see if I’m ok
Do us both a favor and just stay the hell away


(Repeat chorus)

I could have drunken dialed you
But that’s not really me
So I crumpled up your number
And filed it under G
In hour 23
