Avalon Lyrics - The White Buffalo

Billy wasn't sober 

He got pulled over in china town 

Liquor on his breath 

Stuffs a pistol in the cushion 

Rolls the window down 

Oh well, his heart it races like hundred yard dash 

Stone cold on his face 

He's been since then reluctantly on his way 

Billy wasn't sober 

He was hungover 

It was 10 am 

Another day of work 

Clutching the pillow like his only friend 

He's past his prime 

He's a dinosaur 

Steadfast in his ways 

The race has left but he still has cards to play

And he hopes today to swim his way to Avalon 

He's not all the way down 

This feeling is a getting older 

This chip on his shoulder's getting heavier 

Weight of the world 

Spins and obscures into oblivion 

This ain't living, it's waiting 'round to die 

There must be another way 

Under his breath he says 

Things have got to change 

And he hopes today to swim his way to Avalon 

He's not all the way down 

And he hopes today to swim his way to Avalon 

He's not all the way down 

Searching but got no soul 

Wishing he could flip a switch 

Turn his life around and face the fact 

That life's a bitch

And he hopes today to swim his way to Avalon 

He's not all the way down 

And he hopes today to swim his way to Avalon 

He's not all the way down 

And he hopes today to swim his way to Avalon 

He's not all the way down 

And he hopes today to swim his way to Avalon 

He's not all the way down
