lyrics

Slim pickings in a lonely town,
Found one I could stand and I settled down,
Next thing you know I was playing around,
Ain’t that just like me.

My girl told me she was walking away,
Before she did she asked if I had something to say,
I said the wrong thing and I lost her for good,
Ain’t that just like me.

Started arguing in a bar with a man,
Talking about something that I don’t understand,
He ended my night with a beautiful right,
Ain’t that just like me.

I had a few drinks and I decided to drive,
Bottle of devil strapped in the passenger side,
Woke up in my home both safe and warm,
Ain’t that just like me.

Ain’t that just like me,
Ain’t that just like me,
I always struggle to see the wood for the trees,
Ain’t that just like me.

Had a rough year and I lost my mind,
I bought some medication that I wasn’t prescribed,
Took the whole bottle and I didn’t die,
Ain’t that just like me.

My doctor didn’t agree with my pattern of thought,
Said I needed to go to somebody and talk,
Told him it was him that was going mad,
Ain’t that just like me.

Ain’t that just like me,
Ain’t that just like me,
I always struggle to see the wood for the trees,
Ain’t that just like me.
