Backbone

A friend of mine had called, said hey let's get a drink
I was still in bed, he said it's later than you think
It felt like I had been run down by a Freightliner truck
Yesterday felt like a haze and I spent all my bucks

So I buttoned up my trousers and buttoned up my blouse
Went I came downstairs I thought what happened to my house?
Bottles everywhere and the kitchen was a mess
You know what will me clean me up? Black coffee and fried eggs!

I don't have a backbone
I've been searching high and low
In the lost and found department of the backbones

I don't have a backbone
I've been searching high and low
In the lost and found department of the backbones

A long time back they abstracted my spine
Just to let in wither on the vine
I never ever have seen it since
I am just so easy to convice

I ought to do some cleaning, but I stepped in the car
My buddy, yeah he picked me up and we drove straight to the bar
My head it was still pounding, but I couldn't say no
When I get a call I just feel the urge to go

I don't have a backbone
I've been searching high and low
In the lost and found department of the backbones

I don't have a backbone
I've been searching high and low
In the lost and found department of the backbones

A long time back they abstracted my spine
Just to let in wither on the vine
I never ever have seen it since
I am just so easy to convice

This wishy washy life style, I know will have to end
The only way to do it is say goodbye to my old friends
Can't go on any longer, messin' up my life
It's time to start anew, maybe find a decent wife

Backbone... backbone... backbone... backbone
Backbone backbone backbone backbone backbone
I don't have a backbone

I don't have a backbone
I've been searching high and low
In the lost and found department of the backbones

I don't have a backbone
I've been searching high and low
In the lost and found department of the take it home!
