Me and big Dave were just tryin' to stay upright
We were chasin' white lines and warpin' our minds last night
We were killin' the time, though we sure didn't know it
Huntin' down rhymes with a Kentucky poet
Me and big Dave were just tryin' to stay alive
There's some folks around town that might
Cuss our names down to the floor
They might claim that we're loners
No-account stoners and more
It's the same kind of people
Claim to be chosen
But their ears made of stone and
Their tongues made of poison
The doctrine they preach
Has got nothing that they can teach me
ย
Well, I don't know if Dave hates
The same kind of hate that I do
Well, but he knows that I know
That he's been cut down by it too
Well, people get talkin' 'bout things that we use
I ain't in the business of makin' excuses
Me and big Dave were just tryin' to stay alive
This whole world's full of ghosts
That I believe, that, most folks can't see
The particular demons
That reason with big Dave and me
