it's all down hill from here
the battle is over
it's all a pill you wear
to take over and over
i left you all my notebooks
and video confessions
my young faced rock star looks
and monday night sessions
then went to the river
slipped into her open mouth
sank into her barefaced body
in the crooked cradle of the south
it's all down hill from here
this song plays over and over
i was born an alien,
an airborn rover
i've disengaged from the bar chat
from your barn feed stover
i've retired from your ranks
from the ship of your stern drover
and it's all down hill from here
