The Bottom Rung Lyrics

Sad songs from 1963

Bout what America used to be

Old man and a long forgotten dream

Tired story bout all he's ever seen

Friday drinkin' whiskey at the jar

Life trickles down to where you are

Tired girls over at the bar

Wishin' they were far from where they are

Slam it down, another round

Another day in a valley town

Sun comes up and the day is done

Bottom's up at The Bottom Rung

Dan is back and doesn't have a home

No rent and can't afford a phone

Old timer hasn't got a friend

But one more drink will have him on the mend

Will thinks he's fighting in the war

Only brothers know what killin's for

Medicate to get you through the day

Or lose your edge and they'll put you away

Slam it down, another round

Another day in a valley town

Sun comes up and the day is done

Bottom's up at The Bottom Rung

At The Bottom Rung

Pouring out just another beer

Another whiskey, another year

Half past I don't give a damn

Forget the life of the workin' man

Last chance at The Down and Out

Never gettin' what it's all about

Another week and one more pay

Do it over and fade away

Slam it down, another round

Another day in a valley town

Sun comes up and the day is done

Last call at The Bottom Rung

Slam it down, another round

Another day in a valley town

Sun comes up and the day is done

Last call at The Bottom Rung

Last call at The Bottom Rung
