Drive-By Truckers - Assholes lyrics
[Drive-By Truckers - Assholes lyrics]
You buy me dinner when I'm in town
Talk about records that you know
Lay the friendship card upon me
And out the door
Somebody said we hurt your feelings
With our little dirty jokes
Then you accused us of stealing back our soul
Then you say that we're the assholes
Cause we bitched about the hassles
While you're sleeping in your castles
And we're still riding down the road
I hear you're all offended by
The letters that I wrote
It's just a shame it hadn't ended long ago
Then you sicked your lawyers on me
Told them to go for the throat
And you just sat back and
Watched them have a go
Then you say that we're the assholes
But, I never would deny we have our
Share of the blame to absorb
But when you say that you're the reason
For the things that we've achieved
I want to kick down your door
You like to say that we're the assholes
As if we somehow done you wrong
We just do what we have to, to carry on
I'm sure you'll find another asshole
To replace us for a song
You'll keep your office and expense account
And we'll keep traveling along
When you say that we're all assholes
Guess it'd be useless to deny
I'm just saying you're the reason why
Talk about records that you know
Lay the friendship card upon me
And out the door
Somebody said we hurt your feelings
With our little dirty jokes
Then you accused us of stealing back our soul
Then you say that we're the assholes
Cause we bitched about the hassles
While you're sleeping in your castles
And we're still riding down the road
I hear you're all offended by
The letters that I wrote
It's just a shame it hadn't ended long ago
Then you sicked your lawyers on me
Told them to go for the throat
And you just sat back and
Watched them have a go
Then you say that we're the assholes
But, I never would deny we have our
Share of the blame to absorb
But when you say that you're the reason
For the things that we've achieved
I want to kick down your door
You like to say that we're the assholes
As if we somehow done you wrong
We just do what we have to, to carry on
I'm sure you'll find another asshole
To replace us for a song
You'll keep your office and expense account
And we'll keep traveling along
When you say that we're all assholes
Guess it'd be useless to deny
I'm just saying you're the reason why
