DUI (Perfect Life)

i thought that i'd know better at 22
the future was endless so how could i lose?
you mess up, you believe they'll forgive you
i tried to win your heart, i failed
i tried to drive home but i ended up in jail
it's hard to pay rent when you spend it on bail
i know the truth, you don't get a redo
i thought that life was perfect at 17
now all my failures weigh on me
there's no use in sleeping if you can't even dream
i tried to win your heart, it didn't take
i tried to drive home, it was a big mistake
i hit the gas pedal when i should've hit the brake
i know the truth, you don't get a redo
all i wanted was a perfect life,
all i wanted was a perfect life,
all i wanted was a perfect life,
all i wanted was a perfect life
i wanna get a job but i can't piss clean
or maybe go back and finish my degree
i wanna get out of here but they won't let me
i tried to win your heart, i failed
i tried to drive home but i ended up in jail
i tried to win your heart, i failed

i love those brick streets that run by the river
and the drunk businessmen who drink to the summer
and the national league pennant
which is almost guaranteed
we don’t use the sidewalk
we walk right down on the street
past the barges carrying coal cars south to the gulf
and the fake boat casinos
where the fools test their luck
while a jazz band plays standards
and wishes that they were elsewhere
we snap with the rhythm
the bums beg us for bus fare
and the gentleman open up cab doors for their dates
while the busboys clear tables of half-empty plates
and the cooks light up cigarettes
and loosen up their aprons
we breathe their tobacco in
and the bricks turn to pavement
we breathe their tobacco in
and the bricks turn to pavement
