In my shoes my toes are busted My kitchen says my bread is molded I got a good job at the dollar store One foot in the hole One foot gettin' deeper With a broken nail and a blown out speaker I ain't got much else to lose I'm faded, flat busted Been jaded, I've been dusted I know that I've seen better days One foot in the hole One foot gettin' deeper Crank it to eleven, blow another speaker And I ain't got, I ain't got much to lose 'Cause I've seen better days I've been the star of many plays I've seen better days And the bottom drops out I've seen better days I've been the star of many plays I've seen better days And the bottom drops out Now, my cup's filled up with five buck wine I find myself here all the time Another rip in the glass Another chip in my tooth Rained on, I've been stained on Found another goat I try to put the blame on And now I'm steppin' on all the cracks So I guess there ain't no use 'Cause I've seen better days I've been the star of many plays I've seen better days And the bottom drops out I've seen better days I've been the star of many plays I've seen better days And the bottom drops out I'm bent like glass Second hand like glory Missed the bus but I'm in no hurry Molasses fast, no business born One foot in the hole One foot gettin' deeper Crank it to eleven, blow another speaker And I ain't got, I ain't got much to lose I've seen better days I've been the star of many plays I've seen better days And the bottom drops out I've seen better days I've been the star of many plays I've seen better days I've seen better days I know that I've seen better days (And the bottom drops out) I've been the star of so many plays (And the bottom drops out) I walked on the edge without a hold whole way (And the bottom drops out) 'Cause I know, I know that I've seen better, better days (And the bottom drops out)
