sorry maynard i got drunk and had another cigarette

Two whole weeks into twenty twenty I have just smoked my second cigarette of the year I know that that's two too many I tend to unresolve when I go out drinking Ten whole beers I have had already What the hell was I Gonna say to you again One whole week into assertiveness training My psychologist says I am lagging behind Social skills are just like any other You gotta put in the hours, you gotta contact some eyes You can't live so passive forever My child, when are you ever gonna speak your own god damn mind Am I alright as I am Am I alright as I am Am I alright as I am Dad says he's concerned about my super We share that in common, I'm also often concerned He says son, if you're not making regular payments The tax-man will take it all, and wouldn't that be a shame Dad I'm grateful for the concern and the conversation There's just no way on earth I'm gonna make it to retirement age Am I alright as I am Will be alright as I am Will be alright as I am I met a man on the side of the road Some piece was hanging off the chin of his car And he couldn't reach far underneath to fix it He said son, could you help me My grandson isn't picking up his phone And I'm running late to lawn bowls Well I fixed it for him And I said goodbye And I drove away And I kicked myself I'd never asked for or offered him a name I met a dog in a hole I asked it what it reckons they will All remember him for and he said Buddy, hole-mate of mine You got me all wrong I'd rather they didn't at all With burning lungs And grounded eyes I try too hard To recognise The promises I made As I woke up With time progressed And decisions made I once again find I am a slave To just the very thing that I In this very instant want So I take a drag and make a plan On how I'll never ever smoke again Yeah right Well, maybe next time Wait Wait Wait
