Well, a person can work up a mean, mean thirst
After a hard day of nothin´ much at all
Summer´s past, it´s too late to cut the grass
There ain´t much to rake anyway in the fall

And sometimes I just ain´t in the mood
To take my place in back with the loudmouths
You´re like a picture on a fridge that´s never stocked with food,
I used to live at home, now I stay at the house

And everybody wants to be special here
They call your name out loud and clear

Here Comes A Regular, call out your name
Here Comes A Regular, am I the only one here today

Well, a drinking buddy that´s bound to another town
Once the police made you go away
And even if you´re in the arms of someone´s baby now
I drink a great big whiskey to you anyway

And everybody wants to be someone´s here
Someone´s gonna show up never fear

Here Comes A Regular, call out your name
Here Comes A Regular, am I the only one who feels ashamed

And even alongside old sad eyes, who says
"Opportunity knocks once then the door slams shut"
All I know is that I´m sick of everything that my money can buy
A fool who wastes his life god rests his guts

First the lights, and the collar goes up,and the wind begins to blow
You turn your back on a pay-you-back last call
First the plants, the leaves, the grass and here comes the snow
There ain´t much to rake here anyway in the fall
