Hi and Lo - Cherry Poppin' Daddies

It would be nice to hear from you

You must be better than

When you used to call me for advice

All drunk and sad at 4 AM We both had lost our girlfriends

But our sense of humor never

In the summer we saved each other’s lives

By hanging out together

I’ve been high, but mostly low

A lifelong lodger on a dead end road

But I like mine to shine like gold

The darkest hour turns brighter than a rose

Than a rose…

The memories I still lean on In the current haze I’m in When we were so down, we’d toast the town

Like two black-hearted Irishmen

I don’t settle things with booze

Like I did for years

The guys that I still care about

In the stories that I hear

I’ve been high, but mostly low

A lifelong lodger on a dead end road

But I like mine to shine like gold

The darkest hour turns brighter than a rose

We didn’t get much further

Than a shoebox for a home

And our mattresses are gray with years

Of passing out in our street clothes

Now the hard times are behind us So let’s not be alone

And the bottom line, and this is mine

Dammit, we both got a phone

I’ve been high, but mostly low

A lifelong lodger on a dead end road

But I like mine to shine like gold

The darkest hour turns brighter than a rose

Than a rose…
