Sick Shift - Ode To Johnny Alkie lyrics

Late one night, just another night Bottle in his hand so he feels all right Hard luck boy, Johnny's playing With his life again Liquor prescribing, all the boys were vibing 'Johnny, give me your keys, son You shouldn't be driving' But he opens the door to his '54 And hops right in Johnny was one of those guys Who felt in life he could never win His only love was for a cold sixer And a flask of gin Another bottle and another debacle But this time, Johnny, he ain't coming back No one will ever see him again Knuckles white and his face was green Johnny clenched the wheel like a speed machine Yellow lines flashed through his sight Like a thousand men Thoughts racing through his mind He knew the cliff up ahead Was the end of the line Eyes closed, pedal to the floor Driving to his end
