Drinking for 11 Lyrics

Drinking for a living
that's just what I do
When I'm not with you
My heart goes to bed.
End of the bar
that's just where I'll be
Don't try and come find me
Cause I'm already dead

With one eye tied upon the open road
I feel your presence and I can't let it go.
It moves so slowly as it creeps into my mind
Steals every breath I have and leaves my heart behind

Wanna know what you're feeling if your feeling alone
I wanna hear if you still care
The last time I remember you was the last time I wasn't scared

When the nights start fading and the mornin' arrives
I wanna still feel you around
Will you creep into my head again and pick me up off the ground
Once more, tell me what you're fighting for

Gotta try gotta try for tomorrow
You can't see through today
Gotta try, gotta try for tomorrow
You can't see through today
There's nowhere left to stay

Sometimes it feels like I'm out here all alone
Just one in million stuck with no place left to go
The fear steps up to me with every move that I make
Following close behind my soul it wants to take
Wanna know what you're feeling if your feeling alone
I wanna hear if you still care
The last time I remember you was the last time I wasn't scared

When the nights start fading and the mornin' arrives
I wanna still feel you around
Will you creep into my head again and pick me up off the ground
Once more, tell me what you're fighting for

Gotta try gotta try for tomorrow
You can't see through today
Gotta try, gotta try for tomorrow
You can't see through today
There's nowhere left to stay
Whoa!
Drinking for a living, that's just what I do
When I'm not with you
My heart goes to bed

The Mad Caddies are a ska punk band from Goleta/Santa Barbara/Solvang, California. The band formed in 1995 and has released five full-length albums, one live album, and two EP's. Their sound has influences from a wide range of genres, including ska, punk, hardcore, swing, reggae and jazz.

Founding members Chuck Robertson, Sascha Lazor, Todd Rosenberg, Carter Benson and James Malis started the group in high school but the band's membership has changed frequently since its inception. Drummer Todd Rosenberg left the band in 1999, Benson left the band in 2002, and bassist Mark Iversen left the band in 2006. The current lineup consists of:

* Chuck Robertson (lead vocals/rhythm guitar/primary lyricist)
* Sascha Lazor (lead guitar/banjo/primary composer),
* Keith Douglas (trumpet/backing vocals)
* Ed Hernandez (trombone)
* Brian Flenniken (drums/percussion),
* Cris Badham (bass guitar).


The band used to play under the name The Ivy League, but in 1996 they changed their name after signing to the Honest Don's Records label to avoid confusion (and potential litigation) with two prior bands that went by the same moniker. The band's debut album, Quality Soft Core, was released the following year. After the release of the album, the band was signed to Fat Mike's label Fat Wreck Chords, through which the Mad Caddies have since released 4 studio albums, an EP and a live album.
