about

This song is about the cheap vodka and hair metal filled days and nights I spent with my friend, Tyler Koweta, before he died of cancer.

lyrics

Sometimes I reach to call you up
When I hear new bands
Cause I know that you would listen
Like when you were here
Sometimes I think that you’d get mad
When I use your name
To get the set over
Hell, maybe I’d feel the same

Still, I ain’t got
No one else
Who feels the hair like I do
Your student loans
For a bottle of Karkov
Tesla and Crue on the juke
All afternoon
For the rest of my days
These rail vodka shots are for you

It ain’t so funny
How life can change
From the road
To the bar
To the grave
We got your spot stage right
Cause you’re one of the boys
And that Ian’t ever gonna change
The last time I saw you
You came in a dream
And you told me I’d be next
Well pal,
I picked up some more bad habits
Since that December
When you left

Still, I ain’t got
No one else
Who feels the hair like I do
Your student loans
For a bottle of Karkov
Tesla and Crue on the juke
All afternoon
For the rest of our days
These rail vodka shots are for you

And all of the times we share
All of the drinks
All of the hair
God damn these empty bottles
I miss you in a way that makes me talk to the sky
On these old jukebox nights of yours and mine
Still, I ain’t got
No one else
Who feels the hair like I do
Your student loans
For a bottle of Karkov
Skid Row on the juke
All afternoon
For the rest of our days
These rail vodka shots are for you

Sometimes I reach to hand you a drink
When I hear your band
Cause I know that you’d still be drinking this shit if
If you were still here
