lyrics

This goes out to all my hippy folks
and all my punk rockers.
To all my headbangers,
Metal heads and moshers.
To the last few cowboys 'round.
Rude boys, skins and stompers.
And all my loyal friends
Who called my divebar shows a concert.

This goes out to you,
Heart-breakers, lost lovers.
That gave me countless nights
Hidin' under my covers.
To all my fellow struggling musicians
and just silly little fuckers.
That made me smile
When I thought my life was over.

I tip my hat to you, I raise my glass.
I thank you all so kindly 'cuz now I can smile at my past.
I'm not alone, long as I know,
All these people that I've known.
'Till I'm six feet in the ground and overgrown,
I don't care I'm broke.

'Cuz even though I'm so damn poor
That I can't buy my own toothpaste -
I'm the richest man in this place.

This goes out to my family
And all the pretenders.
To all the renters, sellers,
Cigarette loaners and lenders.
To all the friends who said they'd take a bullet...
...and the ones who really did.
To my cat, my dog, my side of town
And of course, Joe Kidd.

I tip my hat to you, I raise my glass.
I thank you all so kindly 'cuz now I can smile at my past.
I'm not alone, long as I know,
All these people that I've known.
'Till I'm six feet in the ground and overgrown,
I don't care I'm broke.

'Cuz even though I'm so damn poor
That I can't buy my own toothpaste -
I'm the richest man in this place.

This goes out to my hippy folks
and all my punk rockers.
To all my headbangers,
Metal heads and moshers.
To the last few cowboys 'round.
Rude boys, skins and stompers.
And all my loyal friends
Who called my divebar shows a concert.

This goes out to you,
Heart-breakers, lost lovers.
That gave me countless nights
Hidin' under my covers.
To all my fellow struggling musicians
and just silly little fuckers.
That made me smile
When I thought my life was over.

I tip my hat to you, I raise my glass.
I thank you all so kindly 'cuz now I can smile at my past.
I'm not alone, long as I know,
All these people that I've known.
'Till I'm six feet in the ground and overgrown,
I don't care I'm broke.

'Cuz even though I'm so damn poor
That I can't buy my own toothpaste -
I'm the richest man in this place.

& even though I'm so damn poor
That I can't buy my own toothpaste -
I'm the richest man in this place.
