Trash Like You

Written by: Scott Mickelson

Yes I'm calling you from jail
Mom, she thinks I'm in Mexico
Sorry I had to call collect
Yours was the only number I know
I talk like you
I trust like you
I trash like you

It was five days or five bills
Then I'm off to New Orleans
It's all part of my big plans
I might head North before
I head East
I drive like you
I dive like you
I drown like you
I'm damaged like you

I got a job working offshore
So you won't see me
much anymore
This landlubber shit
just gets me busted
I'll prove to you
that I can be trusted
I work like you
I want like you
I wear like you
I've been waiting like you
And I'm counting on my fingers
All your best wishes
To carry me through

Thanks for the words of inspiration
It's not like the roof is caving in
My sister's worried I'll
wind up dead
Please tell her it's not nearly
so grim
I live like you
I lose like you
I'm lost like you
I can love like you
And I'm counting on my fingers
All your best wishes
To carry me through
