So, this guy walks into a bar.........The only song I have with lyrics, and it turns out to be a jazz number. Go figure. And no, the song isn't autobiographical.

Just a bunch of melodies or riffs thrown together. Occasionally I come up with a lyric or two but most of my stuff remains instrumental. Musically, I'm all over the map. I like raucous guitar crunchers or gentle piano ballads, depending on my medication.

Lyrics
I've gotta get out of this bar Someone please show me to my car I can't seem to see straight I guess there's time for one more drink I've been here 4 or 5 hours I think I hope the buzz is worth the wait I've built up a tolerance to this stuff 1 or 2 just aint enough to wash away yesterdays blues I used to think I had a lot Great big office and a parking spot But now I'm yesterday's news I know there was a time when I used to have it all It seems such a crime when you drop and there's nowhere to fall Now I'm at rock bottom and starting to dig Bartender, pour me something big Leave the bottle and put it on my tab I don't know why my liver still works Guess it's one of those genetic quirks When I die it'll be in some science lab I don't know where the time's gone It used to seem to stand still It's a lot different now that I'm on the downward side of the hill Countless regrets all lost in the haze A river of booze to wash them away I can't believe all those people who say they wouldn't change a thing Who are they kidding? I'd change every detail try just a little bit harder not to fail Yes, I'd grab life and swing it by the tail That would be good If I only could Come on God won't you cut me some slack Everything I catch I have to throw back Except for this scotch on the rocks I was so close to the finish line I was so close I could taste the wine Now I'm drinkin' champagne from a box I oughta resolve to do something good Stay out of this bar and this neighborhood Find me a place to call home But this barstool's my e-z chair and right now I'm too stoned to care So just go away and leave me alone
