"Better Than Ever Blues Part 2" lyrics - TODD SNIDER

Nowhere to go, no one to call
Nothin' to do except nothin' at all
The same ol' climb up the same ol' walls
I've fallen down before

You see I've been down, I've been so depressed
I've been overworked and overstressed
But deep down here I know I'm blessed
I ain't gonna cry no more

No, I ain't gonna cry, I ain't gonna scream
I ain't gonna let 'em kick no holes in my dreams
I won't be fallin' apart at the seams
Like I've always done before

You know I've used my fist and I've used my voice
Hell, I've used myself like a cheap Rolls-Royce
I never knew I could just use my choice
I ain't gonna cry no more, ain't gonna cry

You see people talk behind peoples' backs
They scheme and plot an' plan attacks
But someday soon we'll be switching tracks
In a way the world can't ignore

So call your buddies, call all your friends
Call all your enemies, make amends
We're formin' a club and lettin' everyone in
We ain't gonna cry no more

I said I ain't gonna cry, no, I ain't gonna cry
I don't wanna cry anymore
So we're formin' a club and lettin' everyone in
We ain't gonna cry no more

Moon Dawg's Tavern, that's where I'm gonna go
Moon Dawg's Tavern, that's the only place I know
Moon Dawg's got everything I'm ever gonna need
Moon Dawg's Tavern in Frazier, Tennessee

He'll sit down and he'll tell you about the friends he's made
About the nights that he walked the line and all the mornings that he paid
How they threw him outta so many bars, he finally built one in his own backyard
He ain't been thrown out once so far and his tab is always paid

Moon Dawg's Tavern, that's where I'm gonna go
Moon Dawg's Tavern, that's the only place I know
Moon Dawg's got everything I'm ever gonna need
Moon Dawg's Tavern in Frazier, Tennessee
