 Verse: With main riff
 
 Just another howling wolf on the killing floor below
 Oh no lie you'll find in the first line I should have quit you long ago
 All those angel eyes with the red neck ties wanna see me fall on my face
 And no lie you'll find I despise everything about this place

 Solo
                 A                   
 And when you're lying in your hotel,
         A                       
 Thinking "good riddance to that"
      G                                       G                         
 Well something creeps inside you yeah honey oh something pulls you back
     A                                          A                       
 But it ain't the one way system that's got you uh coming back around no
 G                                             G                        
 It's all those friends and family keeping the size eights on the ground

 There's empty cans on River Street, scumbag city blues
 Sunday morning feels complete,
 When I get back to you
 I could skip and give a miss,
 That I'd never choose
 Cause even though I take the p**s
 I'm glad the future's blue
