David Graff – Supposed To Fly

All songs written by David Graff (SOCAN)

Best Bar in Hell – 5:28

Well you and me baby, we been living hard

Been beat up, been kicked out of every bar

If you’re looking for trouble, that’s just who we are

It’s crazy, but I love you for that

We just seem to do things the hard way

And most times we can’t keep the rent paid

We’re out every night so it don’t matter anyway

When we drag in like some dirty old cat

It’s crazy, but I love you for that

We’re nothing but drinking and bad luck

Like some old fashioned record that got stuck

Let’s drive to the river in our rusted out truck

And Ask the Lord’s judgement tonight

Chorus

Let’s jump in the water and see if we drown

Cause I cannot save you, nor the other way ‘round

And if God will not take us, then it’s just as well

We’ll be drinking in the best bar in Hell

I’ll meet you ion the best bar in Hell

Well maybe we weren’t meant for these times

The rest of the world’s leaving us behind

We’re running on fumes

We can’t keep between the lines

Let’s drive to the river tonight

Chorus
