When I Think Of You My Friends Lyrics - Singles - Greg Trooper

All these working weary drunken rattled friends around me 

Shuffle, panic madly up and down the line 

Hoppers, dopers, sober smokers confounding everybody 

Treating everyone so kindly except themselves sometimes 

Weathers-beaten, losin' cheatin' singin' taller stories 

Satisfaction guaranteed if you hit the note tonight 

Morning coffee allegory keep our engines running 

Your loving something always trumps those things we never tried 

Got a line and a pole and a dry fishing hole 

And I start to pack it in, then I think of you my friends 

Sleepers, weepers, faithless leapers up to ten, 12 inch speakers 

Send them in to Karl, they'll need an overhaul 

Tin pan alley, Rand Mac Nally read my fortune long tall sally 

We might have missed the boat but we all made it to the ball 

Making something out of nothing heart a pounding 

Stomach rumbling, everyone I meet, everywhere I go 

Hackers, slackers, sixteen trackers someone pass the telecaster 

And if you've got to ask well there's a chance you'll never know 

There's house in a town where only ghosts can be found 

And I feel like moving in till I think of you my friends 

Paper pushers, talent brokers, no they're not all thieves and hookers 

Out of luck, out of work, never out of dreams 

So where for art thou romeo, we'd even take a cameo 

Just point us to the station and put us on the train 

I've jumped into the ring where Mr. Lonely is king 

He's about to do me in till I think of you my friends 

That's when I think of you my friends
