ZIPPO Lyrics

Its been 35 years of cigarettes and drinking

I've been wasted to the wall and back again

Woke up with a girl I don't even know

And I walked out on the bridge and drank again

I slept 13 days in my car in Memphis

I walked 14 miles on an LA freeway night

Got back just in time to see my girlfriend

Yeah walk off with another man into the night

It's been 35 years of cigarettes and drinking

There ain't nothing but this old Zippo in my hand

And all these memories keep shaking me down

To the dirt that I stand on as a man

There ain't nothing wrong with the way I'm a'livin

I'm a good man and I give my soul away

I'm gonna sit right here at this bar keep a drinking

Only one man gonna take my world away

It's been 35 years of cigarettes and drinking

Lord knows there's another man like me

And if you've got the time you can take me back to Memphis

And I'll show you where I've been once again

It's been 35 years of cigarettes and drinking

There ain't nothing but this old Zippo in my hand

And all these memories keep shaking me down

To the dirt that I stand on as a man

Keep shaking me down

Keep shaking me down

Keep shaking me down
