lyrics

i take a little bit of sunshine in the keystone state 
drop a tiny touch of moonshine by the dinner plate 
it seems that somedays i'm a little more well 
and every Sunday I've learned to pray like hell  

sometimes I'm not much sometimes i'm it 
some never get up i never quit
 it makes me wonder no more than you 
the things I'll say and the things I'll do 

with the hope of feeling a little less remiss 
the dread of adding another to our list 
i take a little bit of happy with a pinch of salt 
don't act so crazy and never take the fall 

sometimes I'm not much sometimes i'm it 
some never get up i never quit
 it makes me wonder no more than most 
the things i've seen or where i'll go

pour it out a little faster slow it down a touch
 make it last a little longer until the body goes numb
 i swear i need this to sweat out the sun 
my god i need this to keep from coming undone

 sometimes I'm not much sometimes i'm it 
some never get up i never quit
 it makes me wonder no more than you
the things i'll say or the things i'll do

 i heard a whisper i heard a call 
i heard a howlin' then heard nothing at all
