All alone In a one-horse down somewhere in mexico Still somehow it doesn’t feel the same without you Feel the same without you On the low I could use a break From the so & so’s Just this kinda thing can make me Feel this way about you Feel this way about you Several days awake now Solo on a stakeout Don Julio is steady plottin for a break out Let me set the record straight I am just the getaway Yeah i am just a wheelman Idle at the gate - they said now Pull yourself up by the strap of your boots Well yeah but i got are house, church and tennis shoes And i am All alone In a one-horse down somewhere in mexico Still somehow it doesn’t feel the same without you Feel the same without you On the low I could use a break From the so & so’s Just this kinda thing can make me Feel this way about you Feel this way about you Now police got the interstate Hemmed up by a barricade So back through the badlands that’s the only way If i don’t make it back home Give cherise my black comb Give her all my love but never let her know that i was All alone In a one-horse down somewhere in mexico Still somehow it doesn’t feel the same without you Feel the same without you On the low I could use a break From the so & so’s Just this kinda thing can make me Feel this way about you Feel this way about you

Dramatic 03:15
Don’t be so damn dramatic Don’t be so damn dramatic I’ll show you all about it How to be so damn dramatic Look who’s looking through the looking glass Right now you’re the only one I’m looking at How’d you learn to walk so fast I’m the one you should be lookin crooked at Supposin’ if I took my best guess and just said Your name is on the registry, I get it That can tie you up if you let it Or better yet just forget it, get it Don’t be so damn dramatic Don’t be so damn dramatic I’ll show you all about it How to be so damn dramatic If you gonna do it then do it You don’t need to posture to prove it oh I know Cause once we start moving again I know you’re gonna wanna get to it I know you’re gonna wanna get paired up & documented I know you’re gonna wanna get through it Used to try and say I was a long shot so I set it correct as I knew it Don’t be so damn dramatic Don’t be so damn dramatic I’ll show you all about it How to be so damn dramatic

Aye, whatcha say hombre Nothing but time watch me waste a whole Been in my mind but got nothing to say Time to buckle up & make a play for a getaway Yup - a simple stroll as a solid And when I get a hunch I tend to follow it But when I get a bunch I tend to bottle ‘em up, yup And that’s typa thing to lead to squab-bl-in’, so Let’s keep it all eastwood like You get it? You got it? You promise? You good? Alright Not alotta options left But I’m a peaceful man I don’t want no stress, just Trynna unwind and relax Trynna find where my balance is at And once I feel it’s all in line I’ma turn around and walk it right back On a wasted day Come away, come away, come away As we go glidin’ down the sidewalk (slidin’ down the sidewalk) Such a wasted day Come away, come away, come away And we’ll go glidin’ down the sidewalk (slidin’ down the sidewalk) On a wasted day Aye, look alive Lupe Incoming I’m gunnin’ your way Been running' but I’m lamping today So kindy move aside for my ramblin’ gate, hey The sun's shinin’ it’s a stunner At this rate i’m gonna wanna waste the whole summer And this pace is better with a fife & a drummer yeah But one thing leads to another, so I shrug it down and go solo And sleepin’ on the kid is a no-no Speakin’ of i know y’all wanna vibe with me So hands up like you’re at the go-go I’ma keep it all outdoors And when the boredom hits ya betta go and get yours Still got nothiin’ to say ‘cept that this day was made for a getaway, let’s go On a wasted day Come away, come away, come away As we go glidin’ down the sidewalk (slidin’ down the sidewalk) Such a wasted day Come away, come away, come away And we’ll go glidin’ down the sidewalk (slidin’ down the sidewalk) On a wasted day Come away, come away, come away As we go glidin (slidin’)

Now I don’t really know if you noticed But lately I’ve been feelin’ all stiff in the shoulders Trynna stay focused Chin up, get up, head up, don’t give up Yeahhhhh I don’t know if you’ve noticed Life is just a guess, I guess Ohh and life can be a chest o’ stress Whoa now I’m really trynna rally, you’ll see But some days the lack of symmetry starts to get to me Baby hold the phone gimme one red second Cause I wanna be better than expected Wanna give you everything you need to see successes Better start believin’ all these lessons here are blessins We got better things to do than fight For example lovin’ yeah you know that’s right And i’m not perfect, i know But baby i’m workin’ on it as i go We’re fallin’ for it everytime Just know that i been trynna push it up that line And i got issues, i know And i won’t miss ‘em when i see ‘em go Yo, I woke up heart racin’ guess I’m anxious in my sleep now Dropped the ball for an entire decade hope I don’t fumble the rebound Used to hang my head depressed I hung that hat up Every day I smile from ear to adam's apple Grasp a rung up on that ladder Look up and embrace the sky I put more trust in my steps A constant work, I got some urges though it sucks to accept I take careful measures to mitigate my lust for the fetch Get it? Like gettin’ throwed, the gettin's good if I make it home Bare as bones with calcifications due to a lack of healin’ My testimonials from rock bottom stacked to the ceiling Peel myself from gods bathroom floor like a puke and rally Stagger through crowds of strangers Who salute me like they found me Heavy is the crown, bottle got me draggin my toes No friends to lighten my load I’ll match these struggles alone Formed against me were these self forged daggers I played the victim and the victor All in the name of growin’ from kid to mister We got better things to do than fight For example lovin’ yeah you know that’s right And I got issues, I know And I won’t miss ‘em when I see ‘em go I’m fallin’ for it everytime Just know that i been trynna push it up that line And I’m not perfect, I know But baby i’m workin’ on it as I go La-di-da-di-da
