I used to be your favorite drunk,
good for one more laugh.
Then we both ran out of luck
and luck was all we had.

You put on a uniform to fight the civil war.
I tried to join but no one liked the side I'm fighting for.

So let's drink to when its over
and lets drink to when we meet.
I'll be waiting on this corner
where there used to a street.

It wasn't all that easy when you up and walked away.
But I'll leave that little story for another rainy day.
I know your burden's heavy as you wheel it through the night;
The guru says it's empty but that doesn't make it light.

So lets drink to when its over
and let's drink to when we meet.
I'll be standing on this corner
where there used to a street.

You left me with the dishes and a baby in the bath
and you're tight with the militias and you wear their camouflage.
Well I guess that makes us equal but i wanna march with you;
Just an extra to the sequel of the ol' Red White and Blue.

So let's drink to when its over
and lets drink to when we meet.
I'll be waiting on this corner
where there used to a street.

It's going to be September now for many years to come;
many hearts adjusting to that strict September drum.
I see the ghost of culture with numbers on his wrist,
salute some new conclusion that all of us have missed.

So lets drink to when its over
and lets drink to when we meet.
I'll be waiting on this corner
where there used to a street.
