[Sad, classic southern slide guitar intro} [Depressive, humorous verse] Came home late, bottle in my hand Stumbled through the door like a broken man Wrestled off my clothes, and wobbled to the sink Threw up on the cat and took another drink As I gulped that booze, I found to my surprise My lady’s lookin’ at me with a fury in’er eyes She took one look, said, “Boy, you’re done” Tossed my boots and my bag out one by one [Sad, cowboy harmony chorus] I guess I’ve outlived my welcome Pour some dirt on me I guess I’ve outlived my welcome Time to get me a drink [Depressive, humorous verse] Staggered to my bud’s, but he weren’t there Let myself inside, got a drink prepared Mosey’d to the couch, but I ain’t get far ‘Cause a stranger called out, “who the hell ya think ya’re?” [Sad, cowboy harmony chorus] I guess I’ve outlived my welcome That wasn’t my buddy’s home I guess I’ve outlived my welcome Time to go drink alone [Optimistic, silly bridge] Tried my mama’s, but Daddy said, “No” Tried my ex, but the boys in blue showed An officer put me up in the clink I thanked him, then asked, “What’cha got to drink?” [Depressive, humorous verse] Stepped outta jail with nowhere to be But the old dive bar still welcomes me I’ll drink ‘til I hear the last call Then I guess I ain't got nowhere at all [Sad, cowboy harmony final chorus] I guess I’ve outlived my welcome Pour some dirt on me I guess I’ve outlived my welcome Time to get me a drink I guess I’ve outlived my welcome Ain’t nowhere left to go I guess I’ve outlived my welcome Once the ol’ dive bar is closed [Somber, sad outro] I guess I’ve outlived my welcome Please, don’t pity oh, lonesome me I guess I’ve outlived my welcome Unless you’re gettin’ me a drink [Music slows to sad, beautiful last note]
