Stay Down

[Verse 1]

Micheladas in the afternoon

Lie on the couch in a rented room

Watching Jeopardy without the sound

It's easy to stay down

[Verse 2]

Quick mistakes and long goodbyes

Horrible truths and necessary lies

I caught a train that was backwards-bound

It's easy to stay down

[Chorus]

Stay down

Til your mind has been cleared

And your trail can't be found

Stay down

With your eye to the sky

And your ear to the ground

[Verse 3]

Down by the pool with all my brand-new friends

Rewriting letters that I'll never send

Declining invitations into town

It's easy to stay down

[Verse 4]

Slowly admit that you have had your fun

The girl you loved and every word you sung

All the profane that you thought profound

It's time now to stay down

[Chorus]

Stay down

Til the smoke has been cleared

And your name can't be found

Stay down

With your head in the clouds

And your eyes to the ground

[Verse 5]

Feel the sting of the final blow

What could've been, you don't care or know

Don't try to go another round

Stay down
