Lyrics of Casualties by American Aquarium
verse
I got a cracked windshield and Mardi Gras beads
Some trucker hats and old hotel keys
We got a dash, full of trash and other bands CD's
Got a cracked windshield and Mardi Gras beads
verse
Breaking points and broken guitar strings
We bet big and we lost everything
Damn near wasted all our twenties chasing down a dream
Now we're all breaking points and broken guitar strings
chorus
We ain't ever gonna make it, like I thought we would
So why can't we just pack it up
And say we did the best we could?
I used to be a decent man, then life just took its toll
Now I'm just a casualty of rock and roll
verse
Closing time and opening bands
A different town, same old one night stands
Another midnight muse in cowboy boots with X's on her hands
Closing time and opening bands
verse
It's like playing a game you know you'll never win
You're down to your last hand and you're all in
Then a turn of luck and you double up, just to bet it all again
You see we're playing a game we know we'll never win
chorus
We ain't ever gonna make it, like I thought we would
So why can't we just pack it up
And say we did the best we could?
I shoulda been a doctor or a lawyer, or a policeman on patrol
Instead I'm a casualty of rock and roll
bridge
Tell my mama and my daddy that I tried
Tell all my friends and family goodbye
'Cause if the road is where you live boy
The road is where you'll die
Tell my mama and my daddy that I tried
chorus
We ain't ever gonna make it, like I thought we would
So why can't we just pack it up
And say we did the best we could?
I gave my heart to the highway, she returned it full of holes
We're just casualties of rock and roll
outro
Rock and roll (rock and roll)
Rock and roll (rock and roll)
Rock and roll (rock and roll)
Rock and roll (rock and roll)
Rock and roll
Rock and roll
Rock and roll
Writer(s): Bradley Justin Barham
