Lyrics

[Intro]
| G - | C G | - - | D G |

[Verse 1]
D G           G
   Eight miles out of Galesburg,
       C               G
I'm starin' at the rain
                           D       G
Eightball left of the cheap cocaine
And I'm lookin' at the sunlight,
C                      G
light through the pines
I Couldn't tell ya what it is,
         D               G
but it's always been mine

[Verse 2]
G                        C          G
Now that I'm gone I think of the man
                                 D            G
With a meth pipe clutched in his bonethin hand
I said, hey brother,
      C        G
I hope you get straight
                                  D           G
But I bet I don't meet him at the pearly gates

[Chorus]
       G                 Bm
I sing: Hey mamma I been starin' at the rain
     C                 D               G
A little heartbreak, a little soul pain
                                Bm
I been up all night on the cheap  cocaine
C                             D
Tryna make it better but it's always the same

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
D
G           G                       C           G
 Well I made a few new friends in a Rockford bar
I told 'em all lies,
       D              G
I said I was in charge
Of the afterparty,
          C               G
where the women were loose
                                   D            G
I partied with the metalheads with gin and juice

[Verse 4]
     G
Hung over as hell,
           C               G
I slept in shit on the lawn
                                       D             G
I'm tired of twentysomethins and their punkrock songs
                               C               G
Wake up in the mornin' and stumble towards the down
Sayin' 'how ya doin, boy,
     D              G
it's been too long.'

[Chorus]
       G                 Bm
I sing: Hey mamma I been starin' at the rain
     C                 D               G
A little heartbreak, a little soul pain
                                Bm
I been up all night on the cheap  cocaine
C                             D
Tryna make it better but it's always the same

[Verse 5]
D
G              G                    C       G
 On the streets of Chicago with sidekick Sally
                               D      G
I was hittin' up the bars on Viagra Alley
                                    C         G
Where the men pick up women not half their age
                          D                G
All I had for them was my tears and my rage

[Verse 6]
      G
And I thought it was a fight,
         C            G
so I went for my knife
                                   D                G
And the man shook my hand with his kids and his wife
                            C              G
I was so ashamed that I hung back and cried
Leave all that to Saint Peter,
D              G
wait till I die

[Chorus]
       G                 Bm
I sing: Hey mamma I been starin' at the rain
     C                 D               G
A little heartbreak, a little soul pain
                                Bm
I been up all night on the cheap  cocaine
C                             D
Tryna make it better but it's always the same

[Instrumental]

| - - | Bm - | C - |

[Outro]
D            G
 I've been up all night,
          Bm
I've been stairin' at the sky
       C                            D        G
And I'm still lonely but I couldn't tell you why
