Rock Bottom, Population One Lyrics

Moneys gone the bridges burned

Lost my alligator shoes

On a westbound Greyhound leaving my town

Headed for Baton Rouge

See all the small towns, far enough from cities

Through Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi

Spent my whole life dreaming

Of a place where I can't lose

Rock bottom, population one

The place where I come from

And now I'm leaving behind

When you're all alone you always seem outnumbered

A better half of nothing

With nobody to mind

Maybe in Biloxi

I might win a hundred grand

My life savings multiplied

By the cards that are in my hand

I'll watch the sunrise up out of the Gulf

Where no amount of money will ever be enough

When you spend your whole life running

Escaping Carolina blues

Rock bottom, population one

The place where I come from

And now I'm leaving behind

When you're all alone you always seem outnumbered

A better half of nothing

With nobody to mind

Rock bottom, population one

The place where I come from

And now I'm leaving behind

When you're all alone you always seem outnumbered

A better half of nothing

With nobody to mind
