Me and a big Dave were just trying to stay upright
                                                      A
We were chasing white lines and warping our minds last night

We were killing the time though we sure didn't know it
D
Hunting down rhymes with a Kentucky poet
E                                        A
Me and big Dave were just trying to stay alive

A
There's some folks around town
                                       E
That might cuss our names down to the floor

They might claim that were loners
                      A
No account stoners and more

It's the same kind of people claim to be chosen
D
Their ears made of stone and their tongues made of poison
  E                                                    A
The doctrine they preach has got nothing that they can teach me

Well I don't know if Dave hates the same kind of hate that I do
                                                   A
He knows that I know that he's been cut down by it too

Well people get talking 'bout things that we uses
D
I ain't in the business of making excuses
E                                        A
Me and big Dave were just trying to stay alive

This whole world's full of ghosts
                                    E
That I believe that most folks can't see
                                                  A
The particular demons that reason with big Dave and me
