[Verse 1] Sitting outside the liquor store Thumbing a cheap old lighter Smoke curls up in the parking lot While the sun goes lower, quieter A milk crate throne, a cracked sidewalk A brown paper bag by my shoe I lean back slow on the brick wall Like there ain't much left to do [Pre-Chorus] Cars roll by in a silver blur Tires hiss on the blacktop seam I know that look in the mirror I'm stuck in a half-baked dream [Chorus] Let the world pass me by Let it roll right on by I got time in my hands And dust in my eyes Sitting outside the liquor store Let the world pass me by [Verse 2] A guy in scrubs buys a six-pack A kid with a backpack cuts through A blue truck idles at the curb there Then it fades in a breath or two The clerk don't ask me nothing She just nods when I step inside I grab a cold one for later And I come back out to the light [Pre-Chorus] Evening drops like a worn-out coat Across the dented hood by the curb If I move, I might have to feel it So I stay here and watch the world [Chorus] Let the world pass me by Let it roll right on by I got time in my hands And dust in my eyes Sitting outside the liquor store Let the world pass me by [Bridge] Maybe tomorrow I’ll head somewhere Maybe I’ll call you back Maybe I’m just one bad decision Trying to outlast the crack But tonight I’m just a shadow On a warm old concrete line With the whole wide world in motion And me holding still in time [Chorus] Let the world pass me by Let it roll right on by I got time in my hands And dust in my eyes Sitting outside the liquor store Let the world pass me by [Outro] Let it roll right on by Let the world pass me by Sitting outside the liquor store Watching the world go by
