Headin' for shreddin'

My Mission

-Authors note-
This next song actually made it through the recording phase, but, it didn't come out quite as well as I had hoped.

Reading the lyrics now…
well…yeah, depressing to say the least.
I've long since cut way back on my alcohol intake and the kind of lifestyle described in the song is all but put to bed.
Back in the day, this song nails what I was living.
That's why it's 'Headin for the shreddin'

Don Paul Jankas

Drinkin beers with my buddies on a… Sunday afternoon
Thinkin about my money situation and an… empty bottle of Boones

Never thought about where I'd be the next day in my life
So pass me over that bottle of ol Captain Morgans spiced…

Cause I'm drinkin…
I'm gettin lo---aded

Cause it's my mission to put myself in a hole
Drink down my last dollar I'll be, beggin for more
Cause it's my mission to put myself in a hole
Body and soul
Gonna fill that hole

Took a taxi headed downtown with a crispy… hundred dollar bill
Woke up the next day in a haze with some… fuggin ungly girl
Don't know where I'd been what I'd done or who I… really was
I just remember thinkin, 'mission accomplished' and a job well done

Cause I'm drinkin…
I'm gettin lo---aded

Cause it's my mission to put myself in a hole
Down to my last cigarette could I, bum a couple of more
Cause it's my mission to put myself in a hole
Body and soul
Gonna fill that hole

I'd like to own a bar stool here and… put my name on its side
Dedicate this drinkin place to… me, myself and I
And everyone here would know my name and my… drinkin style
If ya think about takin my seat I'll pull a "Moe" and poke you in the eye

Cause I'm drinkin…
I'm gettin lo---aded

Cause it's my mission to put myself in a hole
Down to my last dollar you'll see me, crawlin back for more
It's my mission to put myself in a hole
Body and soul
Gonna fill that hole
Body and soul
Gonna fill that hole
With my body and soul
Gonna fill that hole
With my body and soul…
"I'm a headed home!"
