Buffalo Tom - Register Side lyrics

rate me

Well, I compare you two

You've got the same toothy grin

And a penchant for dramatic ends

See the harbor lights

His five brothers down there

From the salty bay back home again

He went from one ball and chain

His whole life down the drain

With a widow in his wake

When he got back home

He took the first job he found

How much can one man take?

And he measured his breath

As he pocketed his pride

And he quietly watched life go by

From the register side

Well, he drove down to the shore

But he can't see her no more

He bought a bottle of red wine

He wasn't guilty then

And he's not guilty now

Of killing anything but time

And he measured his breath

As he pocketed his pride

And he quietly watched life go by

From the register side

Yeah you can waste your whole life

From the register side

It's about the in betweens and all the grief that you get

It's about the in betweens and you're not dead yet

It's about the in betweens and you can lie to yourself

It's about the in betweens

It's about the in betweens and all the grief that you get

It's about the in betweens and you're not dead yet

It's about the in betweens and you can lie to yourself

It's about the in betweens

And he measured his breath

As he pocketed his pride

And he quietly watched life go by

From the register side

And he quietly watched life go by

From the register side

And he quietly watched his life
