One of two songs on Welcome Interstate Managers about crippling alcoholism (the other is “Bright Future in Sales”). Chris Collingwood is a recovering alcoholic and he was not sober when he sang (and, presumably, wrote) these songs.
Besides being a tongue-in-cheek song about having a drinking proble...
[Verse 1]
Come on, now get your ass out of bed
You heard what the man said
The crew is already gone
We were all kinda high, but man what were you on?
Tried to take a shuttle to Spain
They kicked me off of the plane
I guess I'll go to Japan
It all looks the same when you stump for the man
[Chorus]
And down in the valley we crawl in the alley
Who knew the 101 was so long?
Before you get sold, you get bought for a song
[Verse 2]
Sake in aluminum cans
It fell in the wrong hands
And now we're chewing the scene
Stumbling out of the Lexington Queen
Walking through a German hotel
And not walking very well
I gotta get to the van
Excuse me, I'm weaving as fast as I can
And Tom won't admit he got lost in the city
He's saying that the directions are wrong
[Refrain]
Before you get sold, you get bought for a song
Before you get sold, you get bought for a song
[Chorus]
And down in the valley we crawl in the alley
Who knew the 101 was so long?
Before you get sold, you get bought for a song
[Refrain]
Before you get sold, you get bought for a song
Before you get sold, you get bought for a song
