(note: this E here is tricky... i THINK the bass is playing the low E

while the guitarists are doing this one, so it's tough to get. IF you

want, try playing

Lyrics (as best as I can tell)

Sleepin' on a planner at the port authority,

waitin' for my bus to come,

Seven scotch and sodas at the office party

Now I don't remember where I'm from

I think I had a black wallet

In my back pocket

With a bus ticket

And a picture of my baby inside

And if I make it home alive

I'm gonna get my *** together

Cause I can't live like this forever,

You know I've come too far and I don't wanna flip

I gotta new computer and a bright future in sales

yeah yeah

(Yeah yeah), bright future in sales

yeah yeah

(Yeah yeah)

Yeah yeah

Headin' for the airport on a misty morning

Gonna catch a flight to Baltimore

Try to kill an hour with a whiskey-sour

If there's time i might have just one more

I gotta do some, quick readin'

for the big meetin'

but my head is spinning

and i can't quite open my eyes

as long as I don't have to drive

I'm gonna get my *** together

Cause I can't live like this forever,

You know I've come to far and I don't wanna flip

I gotta new computer and a bright future in sales

yeah yeah

(Yeah yeah), bright future in sales

yeah yeah

(Yeah yeah), bright future in sales

yeah yeah

(Yeah yeah), bright future in sales

yeah yeah

(Yeah yeah)

yeah yeah

I had a line on a brand new account

But now i can't seem to find where i wrote that number down,

I try to focus,

I'm starin' at the screen,

Pretendin' like a know what all these little flashing lights mean

(oh yeah)
