Lyrics:
Sitting on the back porch, everybody be damned
Head in your hands, no particular plans
But oh, so many thoughts, and dreams unheard
Words are nothing but words (words are nothing but words)

See the little children rolling in the yard
And the sun goes down 'til it's almost dark
And hear the train cry so many miles away
Another train, another day

If you ever make your mind up
I know you will be somebody
I know part of you wants be everybody
But don't be afraid to fall

Mason got his, you know that he did
He put his greedy eyes right over the lid
And oh, the bomb went off right in his face
Though he wears the scars with grace

REPEAT CHORUS

Walking past the church, you make the sign of the cross
Hey God, it wouldn't cost you anything to throw some light my way
You see, I'm a little low on life today
A little low on life today
Low on life today
Low on life today
Low on life today
Lowlife
