Lyrics

[Verse 1]
That Carolina rain
Tappin’ soft on the panes
Smoke from a cigarette pyre

[Verse 2]
So line 'em up there Joe
I got a long ways to go
To drink all the memories aside

[Chorus]
Take on the world
Is the only thing I've ever known
Leaving casualties in a wake made of stone
Oh I've seen these days
It looks like I'm drinking alone

[Verse 3]
Based on the word
From some old man's absurd
Rambles of lives past long by

[Verse 4]
He forewarns bad days
Gonna come anyway
So take shelter before they arrive

[Bridge]
Bathed in that Summers glow
I could only see you in disguise
And oh how the undertow
It just kept us from honest reply

[Bridge]
So we just collide

[Verse 5]
Hey now there Joe
Let's get one more for the road
The whiskey will help me survive

[Verse 6]
A walk home in the rain
Might ease up some pain
And wash all those memories denied

[Chorus]
Take on the world
Is the only thing I've ever known
Leaving casualties in a wake made of stone
Oh I've seen these days
It looks like I'm drinking alone
