Buttons On My Clothes

Buttons on My Clothes I've been drinking all through summer I guess I've had a laugh I've had every kind of fun I could have had Looking at my crowd tonight There's a sober kind of sparkle in their eyes That I don't like 'Cause everybody knows she ain't coming back The buttons on my clothes are as plain to see as that I'm a man of reputation in this rocker's town I have lived it up so long I'll never live it down Every back room bet I've made Every all night thrill room-service bill I've paid Looks cheap today 'Cause everybody knows she ain't coming back The buttons on my clothes are as plain to see as that I took a chemical vacation in my head But now I'm back here at the station with a trunk of regret Thought I found myself a frequency beyond her voice But the memories keep breaking through the noise So brother, send a ship for me before I wash upon the shore of clarity I can see That everybody knows she ain't coming back The buttons on my clothes are as plain to see as that Yeah, everwhere I go, there are ghosts of what I had Like the buttons on my clothes, they are everywhere I'm at
