"Punchline" lyrics

"Punchline"

He's walking out
Head in his hands and he's too drunk to drive
He says out loud
"I've been asleep at the wheel my whole damn life"

What a difference a day makes
Oh, you started off thinking you were the top of your game
You were telling jokes with the sun rise
But by the end of the day, you were looking like a punchline

Come on now
Why don't you spin us another great line?
Tell us how
You're gonna make twenty in half the time
Fool around
While I'm breaking my back to stay above the line

What a difference a day makes
Oh, you started off thinking you were the top of your game
You were telling jokes with the sun rise
But by the end of the day, you were looking like a punchline

It's a battle cry
It's a screaming siren down the 305
It's a wedding band
Thrown out the window of a black sedan
But when the fire starts burning, you'll be begging me to start again

What a difference a day makes
Oh, you started off thinking you were the top of your game
You were telling jokes with the sun rise
But by the end of the day, you were looking like a punchline

He says out loud
"I've been asleep at the wheel my whole damn life"
