Buy My Round - Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats

Countless times I have died Saw you alone again Waiting as the world moves past us You've never been alone for long Crying all day won't make you strong Maybe it's time to say goodbye Please move on now Let's go back to being strangers Can't you hear me breaking away? I hate it when you kiss me when I'm not even alive Tried to lie that I got better You don't buy my lies like they do I can't deny that I mind I cried myself to sleep again I cried myself to sleep again to see the way it ends I know you never mind When I don't text you back Don't you see what's wrong with that? Care to join me one last dance Tell me, did it hurt you bad? I still whisper your name all day Hoping you will find me again Can't you hear me breaking away I can't deny that I mind I cried myself to sleep again I hate it when you kiss me when I'm not even alive

For two hundred years, we've beaten down too long on the dole My dignity I'm losing here, and mentally I'm old There's a system here that nails us, ain't we left out in the cold? Oh, they took our life and liberty friend, but they could not buy our soul Joe Hill died, Che Gevera fought, Pemulwuy lay down dead If a person speaks out critically here, they can get loaded down with lead How long can the majority wait for their story to unfold Oh, they took their life and liberty friend, but they could not buy their soul Well, the clever man spoke precisely, humanity he said was done It's creed of greed could not proceed if our struggle's to be won For humanity's more important here than that constant quest for gold Oh, you may take life and liberty friend, but you cannot buy our soul Well, Jesus woke one morning, rode a donkey up through the gate He could see quite clearly he was going to meet his fate And the powers that be could see that he could not be bought or sold Oh, they took his life and liberty friend, but they could not buy his soul Yeah, they took his life and liberty friend, but they could not buy his soul

Mmm yeah Mmm hmm Well since we been done I've been trying to un-fall apart And I've been thinking that some neon lights Would be a real good start Well I called a couple friends But they all say they're staying in So I guess I'm going out on my own I might be heart broke But that don't mean that I'm gonna stay home, yeah I can buy my own drinks I can pay my own tab At the end of the night when they cut on all the lights I can call my own cab I can drop my own change in the jukebox I can dance all by myself 'Til I can stop thinkin' 'bout drinkin' 'bout him I don't need nobody else Yeah I can buy my own drinks (Tonight, tonight, tonight) Yeah I can buy my own drinks (Tonight, tonight, tonight) Found myself a dive The type he would never walk in Then a guy at the bar sees an empty drink in my hand I said sweet of you to ask If you could fill my glass But I'm gonna have to pass this time Me and myself, yeah well we're doing just fine I can buy my own drinks I can pay my own tab And at the end of the night when they cut on all the lights I can call my own cab I can drop my own change in the jukebox I can dance all by myself 'Til I can stop thinkin' 'bout drinkin' 'bout him I don't need nobody else Yeah I can buy my own drinks (Tonight, tonight, tonight) Yeah I can buy my own drinks (Tonight, tonight, tonight) I can walk my own self to the front door I can take my own self to bed I can medicate my own headache Hell, I can be my own boyfriend I can buy my own drinks I can pay my own tab And at the end of the night when they cut on all the lights I can call my own cab I can drop my own change in the jukebox I can dance all by myself 'Til I can stop thinkin' 'bout drinkin' 'bout him I don't need nobody else Yeah I can buy my own drinks (Tonight, tonight, tonight) Yeah I can buy my own drinks (Tonight, tonight, tonight) I can drop my own change in the jukebox (Tonight, tonight, tonight) I can dance all by myself (Tonight, tonight, tonight)

A past that's sprinkled with the blues A few old dreams that I can't use Who'll buy my memories of things that used to be There were the smiles before the tears And with the smiles some better years Who'll buy my memories of things that used to be When I remember how things were My memories all lead to her I'd like to start my life anew But memories just make me blue A cottage small just built for two A garden wall with violets blue Who'll buy my memories of things that used to be When I remember how things were My memories all lead to her I'd like to start my life anew But memories just make me blue A cottage small just built for two A garden wall with violets blue Who'll buy my memories of things that used to be Who'll buy my memories of things that used to be
