[Verse 1] Pulled up to the shop Dust still on my boots Eddie’s on the front step Jaw tight as my old work suit I ain’t said a word yet He’s red from ear to chin Points at my busted pickup Says, “What kinda mess you in?” [Chorus] And Eddie’s cussin’ me out again Like a broke-down record, same old spin From “boy, you’re dumb” to “where you been?” Every time I let him down, it’s the same old wind Yeah, Eddie’s cussin’ me out again (and I just stand there, takin’ it) [Verse 2] Last week it was Friday I swore I’d help him move Got lost in that barroom Whiskey talkin’ for me too He’s haulin’ up that sofa Sees my truck roll in Shouts, “You good-for-nothin’ dreamer Drunk as you’ll ever win” [Chorus] ‘Cause Eddie’s cussin’ me out again Every “damn it” got my middle name in it Says I run from life, then run to sin He’s the storm, I’m just standin’ in the wind Yeah, Eddie’s cussin’ me out again (and somehow it feels like love a bit) [Bridge] Out behind the diner He lights one, calms right down Says, “Kid, you drive me crazy But I’d die if you weren’t around” That’s the way he shows it Rough side of a friend One arm ‘round my shoulder Mouth still runnin’ till the end [Chorus] So when Eddie’s cussin’ me out again I hear the care hid under his grin Every “get your act together” digs right in But it pulls me back from the edge I’m in Yeah, Eddie’s cussin’ me out again (and I just laugh, ‘cause that’s my friend)
