Tecate and a shot
Make it Crown
Save me the bag won't you babe?
I keep my strings in there

It loosens me up
It helps me to sing
At least that's what I tell my friends
When they ask why I'm drinking

Once I'm feeling good
I'll crawl back to my corner
To sing songs
I don't want to sing

My hands don't shake cause I'm nervous
My mouth don't mumble because I'm scared
My legs don't buckle cause I've been running
You can't run from nothing
When you're stuck in place
In my
Faded glory days

In '75 I was young and alive
Weren't a bar at the beach
Didn't know my name
Weren't a tab I ever paid

Then a bump in a stall
And I blew it all
The girls on the street
Got to know my name
I don't remember a thing

Now I'm all messed up
Strumming a Gibson SJ
I pawned all but one
To pay for yesterday

My hands don't shake cause I'm nervous
My mouth don't mumble because I'm scared
My legs don't buckle cause I've been running
You can't run from nothing
When you're stuck in place
In my
Faded glory

Don't you know I don't wanna ride
On a DUI bike going 35 in a
55, my guitar on my back
Spending weekends in jail
For a vice I can't crack

Dear Diana, I'm so sorry
For the hell I put you through
You were my best
And I was your worst

We couldn't make it work
But we made a beautiful boy
I called him Harrison
Because he brought the sun

Now it's time to go out
Like my mother
To a place
Where I'm no longer a slave
You may say I'm giving up
Or giving out
But to you I say,
It's better to burn out
Than to fade
It's better to burn
Than to fade

My hands don't shake cause I'm nervous
My mouth don't mumble because I'm scared
My legs don't buckle cause I've been running
You can't run from nothing
When you're stuck in place
You can't run from nothing
When you're stuck in place
In my
Faded glory days
Faded glory days
Faded glory days
