Lyrics(Thanks to http://hubcap.clemson.edu/~rfortso/mullins/):

My ship up here is sinkin' 
but this is what I am 
and I'd tell you what I'm thinkin' 
if I thought you'd give a damn 
and I don't know a single one of you 
but you feel like a winter's rain 
tell me would listen to the words I speak 
if I knew you all by name 
it's niether here nor there 
cause I still wake up in my hotel room 
with this smokey barroom in my clothes and hair 
every night is different 
every night's the same 
ain't if funny how each of us 
has his own way to kill the pain 
makes me think of my friend Jimmy 
who never could behave 
he bought a Gator skateboard 
with the money that he saved 
he rode that 4 wheeled sufrin' board around 
till he was old enough to shave 
then it was replaced by a '69 LaSabre 
he'd putter off to schol 
as fast as that thing would get 
and all the kids would say 
here comes Jimmy in that beat up piece of shit 
he used to take up 2 whole spaces 
in the senior parking lot 
yea now Jimmy's doin' seven years 
for stickin' up a subway sandwhich shop 
so crawl beneath your words 
say whats on your mind 
tell it like it is 
don't get stuck behind 
cause its the truth you know, 
that gets you by 
it's not who or what you know, 
it's why 
so straddle that old fencepost 
and fade it down to nothing 
and you'll see 
you might see 
that my ship up here is sinkin' 
but this is what I am 
and I'd tell you waht I'm thinkin' 
if I thought you gave a damn 
so take this in or don't 
I don't really care 
you will or you won't 
2 choices in the air...
