Verse 1

I came hungry

Came to make me some money

Got my blues from the karate kid

And my roots from Bugs Bunny

x2

Well I burned out and got older

My spirit smoldered

Stuffed a sock in my pants

And tossed a chip on my shoulder

x2

Well I gave up thinking

And I took up drinking

To emanicipate my mind like

Abraham Lincoln

x2

Then I robbed and I ripped

Wagging my lips

Singing bibbidibobbidibibbidibib

x2

Chorus 1

I got drunk and I smoked a lot of cigarettes

I got a hangover but I never got rid of it

My heart got broke and my brain got bruised

I still don't know a thing about the tough guy blues

Verse 2

There was this little flirt

Popping out of her shirt

Smiling and laughing

Hanging on to each word

So innocent and sweet

Rockin' to the beat

I tapped that keg

Like she tapped her little feet

Chorus 2

A girl half my age in love with me

I got busted at age thirty three

My heart got broke and my brain got bruised

But I still don't know a thing about the tough guy blues

Bridge

So high so fast that's when I crashed

Down in the gutter tossed out of my ass

Verse 3

Like a cartoon Saturday morning

I wave by still hovering

And splat on the ground

Know the true meaning of suffering

x2

I got a reason for the anger

Like a blind blues singer

I gouge out my eyes

And let a stray dog lick my finger

x2

Chorus 3

I get sad sometimes act suicidal

I look like Jesus but I've never read the Bible

My heart got broke and my brain got bruised

But I still don't know a thing about the tough guy blues
