"After Dark" lyrics

If you see me in the morning
I'd tell you it's important
To understand I'm just a little sick
That's why my eyes are kinda red
I probably oughta stayed in bed
This old world can knock you down right quick

And if you see me in the afternoon
You'd never know I'm smiling through
This hanging round still hangin' in my head
That straight and narrow's touch and go
Until I hear that whistle blow
But all bets are off when that sun sets

'Cause if you see me after dark
It'll be out at this bar
Drinking till I'm drunk enough to break
When they're calling it a night
If I'm low or if I'm high
Just tell me that we'll make it out someday

If I say carry me home, carry me home, carry me home
Won't you carry me home, carry me home, carry me home

This living's hard I'm learning
A tallboy and a bourbon
One's for you and one's for where you've been
Rally round and make a toast
To the good ones and the ghosts
If you're with us or against us
Yeah, let's all get pissed

'Cause if you see me after dark
It'll be out at this bar
Drinking till I'm drunk enough to break
When they're calling it a night
If I'm low or if I'm high
Just tell me that we'll make it out someday

If I say carry me home, carry me home, carry me home
Won't you carry me home, carry me home, carry me home

At the end of the night
If I fall, if I fight
Won't you carry me home
When I'm low, when I'm high
Till the day that I die
Won't you carry me home

'Cause if you see me after dark
It'll be out at this bar
Drinking till I'm drunk enough to break
When they're calling it a night
If I'm low or if I'm high
Just tell me that we'll make it out someday

If I say carry me home, carry me home, carry me home
Won't you carry me home, carry me home, carry me home

At the end of the night
If I fall, if I fight
Won't you carry me home
When I'm low, when I'm high
Till the day that I die
Won't you carry me home
