BILL BACHMANN Lyrics


________________________________________________________________________________

STUCK HERE INSTEAD WITH YOU

Just to be walkin’, just to be talkin’, I’m lucky to be alive,

Just to be jokin’, just to be pokin’, a little fun in this here dive,

It’s great to be lazy, and slip into crazy,

Then go for broke, with an overdose of coke,

Yeah, I could be dead now, too, but I’m stuck here instead with you.

Now don’t get me wrong this is just an old song,

And I still get the urge to go nuts,

But there’s something to be said for waking up in bed,

Without spillin’ up your guts.

Yeah, just to be dancin’, a little romancin’, I’m lucky to be alive,

Yeah, just to be laughin’, even if you’re havin’, to work from nine to five,

It’s great to be loose, really get juiced,

Have a ball and shout, let it all hang out,

Yeah, I could be dead now, too, but I’m stuck here instead with you.

Break

Now don’t get me wrong this is just an old song,

And I still get the urge to get smashed,

But you take it as a warning, when you wake up in the morning,

In a car that you just crashed,

Just to be singin’, this guitar ringin’, I’m lucky to be alive,

Just to be breathin’, even though I’m grievin’, for those of you who survived,

What I could have done, is go get a gun,

Fill it with lead, put a bullet to my head,

Yeah, I could be dead now, too, but I’m stuck here,         (he’s stuck here)

They’re stuck here,    (we’re stuck here)

Stuck here instead with you.
