The Last Laugh

There's only two types of people as far as I can tell The terminally ill and the worried well Every time I've tried to climb out of this wishing well I've made it up only high enough to hurt when I fell Did you ever wonder Well of course you did Ive always wondered how you kept it all so well his Ive had my heart wide open since I was a kid I got a lot of love I got a lot of love Always inches from my ankle when he runs out of chain My neighbor's dog knows I know how to drive him insane I like to give him a little taste of what I'm feeling all day Always chasing after something slightly too far away You think that you're down to nothing You ain't seen nothing yet I am down and out to just about as nothing as it gets I'm working all day every day to pay my debts I need a lot of love I need a ton of it I got a lot of love I got a lot of love My old man was always such a bunch of wreckless fools Lived by his own set of not so golden rules The kind of show off that hated a show offs guts Ive always figured that's what must be driving us nuts I got a lot of love I got a lot of love I want a six foot tombstone two feet thick With the words engraved I tried to tell you all I was sick So you will know that I was right when you go walking on past You tried to tell me I was well but look who's laughing last Did you ever wonder Well of course you did Ive always wondered how you kept it all so well his Ive had my heart wide open since I was a kid I got a lot of love I got a lot of love
