Lyrics
I met a guy in Reno, but he lived down in L.A.
Drinking straight up whiskey in the middle of the day.
I said, ?Brother can you tell me what?s got you so low??
Well he shook his head and he cracked a smile and he said,
?Who wants to know??
He said, ? My name it don?t matter, and my job means even less.
You think I?m some loser -just like all the rest.
Well I?ve got my problems, but there?s one thing I know.
Whatever?s going through my mind, you ain?t gonna know.
CHORUS
Cause I don?t need help from no body
And I don?t want your useless sympathy.
I don?t want the preacher man to see he can save my soul for me.
And I ain?t askin? nobody to stop my misery.
So if I paid my tab won?t you set ?em up for me?
Yeah if I paid my tab well then set ?em up for me.
Well excuse me Mister, I wasn?t trying to pry.
I?m just another sad sucker-one more lonely guy.
I?ve got my own sad story that I was planning to say
To some other guy who was getting high in the middle of the day.
CHORUS
But I don?t need help from no body
And I don?t want your useless sympathy.
I don?t want the preacher man to see he can save my soul for me.
And I ain?t askin? nobody to stop my misery.
So let me pay my tab and then set ?em up for me.
Yeah let me pay my tab and then set ?em up for me.
So let me pay my tab
Yeah let me pay my tab
Just let me pay my tab and then set ?em up for me.
