Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Spent three days pissin' and moanin' about bein' alive

Then I ran out of whiskey and excuses to hide

Sat on a rock, watched the sun go down

Thought about the fire, thought about this town

Hell was a basement, earth is a ditch

Guess I'll take the one where the beer ain't mostly shit

[Chorus]

Resurrection's for cowards — so here I am

Took the easy way out and crawled back to the land

Didn't earn it, didn't want it, didn't ask for second chance

But here I am breathin', so I might as well dance

Resurrection's for cowards, and I'm the biggest one around

So pour a drink and step aside — I'm takin' back this town

[Verse 2]

Tried to be a good corpse, tried to stay dead

Tried to let the worms have what's left of my head

But the worms took one bite and spit me right out

Said "you're too damn salty, we're gonna pass, no doubt"

So here I am, rotten and mean

The worst thing back from the grave you've ever seen

[Chorus]

Resurrection's for cowards — so here I am

Took the easy way out and crawled back to the land

Didn't earn it, didn't want it, didn't ask for second chance

But here I am breathin', so I might as well dance

Resurrection's for cowards, and I'm the biggest one around

So pour a drink and step aside — I'm takin' back this town

[Bridge — spoken, almost warm]

You know what I figured out?

[beat]

Nothin'.

Not a damn thing.

I died, went to hell, got evicted, came back —

And I still don't know why my ex-wife left me.

[small laugh]

Some things just are.

And I just am.

So pour the whiskey. Shut up. And let me be.

[Instrumental break — guitar solo that's not flashy, just honest. Like a man nodding at himself in the mirror.]

[Outro — sung, quieter, almost peaceful]

Resurrection's for cowards — so here I am

Didn't want the sequel, but I'll play the hand

Dealt myself a bad one, that's nothin' new

But a bad hand's better than no hand — that much I finally knew

[spoken, picking up the guitar:]

...now let's go cause some trouble.

[strums one chord. Holds it. Fades into the next track.]
