Count Me Out by The Jazz Butcher Lyrics

I saw him in the window out the corner of my eye
He looked like all he wanted was somewhere warm to die:
Just me and my reflection and the time ticking by

Yes, I've got food, drink and shelter and you don't need more
And I stayed out of prison and I never went to war
A good friend is hard to find and I found three or four

So you can call me lucky, you can call me blessed
But I've had my share of failure, rejection and the rest
And now I swear I'm through with striving. All hope expired
I know I should keep driving but I'm oh, so tired
So thank you, you can count me out

Did I do it my way? No, I compromised
Regrets? Well, I've got plenty of quite substantial size
So take me down to the water where the air is cool
I know I should keep trying but I'm out of fuel
So thank you, you can count me out

Yes, I'll go down to the water, try to cleanse my soul
I don't expect forgiveness but I want parole
So thank you, you can count me out
Count me out, boys. Count me out
You can count me out
Count me out, boys. Count me out
You can count me out
