Friend Like You

Well I shoulda known better with a friend like you 
You'd get me in trouble like you always do 
Drop by the house to write a song or two 
Then we wind up drunk in the afternoon 
 
And we tell a joke, light up a smoke 
Laugh about how we're both so broke 
And tell each other we're gonna make it someday 
One verse to go, and even though 
They'll never play us on the radio 
Hell we ain't in it for the money anyway

Well our friends are all working and they don't understand 
Creative juices flow from a 12-oz can 
A pile of empties when the day is through 
Well I shoulda known better with a friend like you 
 
Well I better sober up, I've got a gig tonight 
You said "Have another" and I said "Alright" 
Well I missed my gig, now I guess I'm screwed 
Shoulda known better with a friend like you
