Fell Asleep in the Chair Again

[Verse 1] Fell asleep in the chair again TV talking to an empty room Some old movie I'd already seen Flickering blue in the midnight gloom Had a blanket halfway to my knees Glasses sliding down my nose Didn't mean to call it a night But that's the way some evenings go [Pre-Chorus] Then somewhere between a dream and dawn A little warning pulled me home [Chorus] Fell asleep in the chair again Woke up to that midnight sound Little red numbers saying, "Hey, old friend, You better turn this thing around" So I reached beside me in the dark For something sweet to see me through Funny how a little bit of sugar Can make the whole world look brand new [Verse 2] Wiley Wallaby by my side Sour-Rageous, ready to go Not exactly how the heroes ride But everybody needs a hero No flashing lights, no cavalry No trumpet blowing down the hall Just a handful of something sweet And another chance—that's all [Chorus] Fell asleep in the chair again Woke up to that midnight sound Little red numbers saying, "Hey, old friend, You better turn this thing around" So I reached beside me in the dark For something sweet to see me through Funny how a little bit of sugar Can make the whole world look brand new [Bridge] Maybe life ain't always thunder Maybe grace don't make a sound Sometimes it's a warning in the darkness And something sweet when you're going down You take the help that's there beside you Wait a while and watch the numbers climb Then thank whatever kept you listening For one more ordinary night [Final Chorus] Fell asleep in the chair again Guess I'll probably do it more Wake up wondering where I am With my glasses halfway to the floor But tonight I'm sitting here awake Watching morning coming into view Funny how a little bit of sugar Makes you glad to still be you [Outro] TV talking to an empty room Morning waiting somewhere there One more night made it safely through Fell asleep in the chair again
