The Overpass

The Overpass Ward Davis/Greg Jones/Ron Dini
(Jonesin' Forward Music - BMI)

Verse
Well he wakes up nice and dry
He hears the cars and trucks above him rolling by
He lights a cig and takes a swig
He does this everyday

Wife and kids weren't enough
He started running round drinking way too much
Taking pills and chasing thrills
Til he lost everything.

Chorus
Some day's he sober long enough to feel regret
But he'll find a bottle and it won't last
Cause he can't stand the thought of what it took to get
From what he had to what he has
Under the overpass

Verse
He prefers sunshine to rain,
Cause the liquor store's a half a mile away
But folks give more on day's it pours
So it works' out either way

Chorus
Some day's he sober long enough to feel regret
But he'll find a bottle and it' won't last
Cause he can't bear the thought of what it look to get
From what he had to what he has
Under the overpass

(RIDE)

Chorus
He's just biding time the only way he knows
Numbing pain he can't get past
He'll be there until he's got somewhere to go
But who knows how long he has

Tag
But he wakes up nice and dry
He hears the cars and trucks above him rolling by
He lights a cig, and takes a swig
He does this every day.
