Gary by Trevor Moore Lyrics

I got a call from you
Somewhere north of 2AM
Wanted to see what I'm up to
They just let you out of jail again
And you found yourself a program
That's helping you see things real clear

Finally got your life on the right track
And finally got that monkey off your back
Picking up the pieces of your life
Repair the damage with your kid and wife
You'll take this one day at a time
And this time you'll persevere

Ooh, I know that life is scary
And you think you've found your way
But still I gotta say
I don't think you'll make it Gary

Ooh, make no mistake about it
I hope you're done with all your strife
Live a long and happy life
But I kinda sorta doubt it
You say you've given it a lot a thought
Maybe your story could help kids that're feeling low
Yeah, maybe, but probably not
But hey, whatever, man, you never know

You say you just wanna give something back
Now that you've made it through and seen the worst
Maybe shouldn't give your back a pat
Until you've made it through the weekend first

You're just tryna occupy your days
The devil's workshop is an idle hand
Don't wanna go back to your old ways
Uh-huh, cool, yeah, that's awesome man

You say that as you're getting on your feet
You need a place to stay for a month or so
You promise that you'll keep your room real neat
That's cool, if I hear anything I'll let you know

Ooh, I know that life is scary
And you think you've found your way
But still I gotta say
I don't think you're gonna make it Gary

Ooh, some lives are cautionary
Pulling for you to win this race
But I'm gonna keep my space
I don't think you'll make it Gary
