Story Behind The Song

I used to hang out at an old diner-drug store in Milwaukee on the East side. Every kind of character you can imagine came in that place, a lot of them down and out and all of them had a story. This tune is their story summed up in one character.

Song Description

It's about a person who's covered the same old ground for too long and has missed his chances in life and is wondering what to do next. There is no resolution, just a repeat of the same question, what am I going to do with my life?

Lyrics

Stuck

Another day and I wake up with nothing to do
But ramble around in this shabby old town
Hang out at the coffee stop with the losers and fools
And every day they look more like me

And I feel like a jerk
In this tattered old shirt
?cause I?ve been here too long
and the wasted days drift by
and I wonder what the hell I?ve ever done with my life

Lookin? for something new in the ruins
Smoke cigarettes and stare out the window
And I miss someone but that point is moot
I had my chances a long time ago

And I can?t compete
With this losing streak
?cause I?ve been here too long
and the wasted days drift by
and I wonder what the hell I?ve ever done with my life

Another day and I wake up with nothing to do
But ramble around in this shabby old town
Hang out at the coffee stop with the losers and fools
And every day they look more like me

And I?m feelin? beat
On these worn out streets
Cause I?ve been here too long
And the wasted days drift by
And I wonder what the hell I?ll ever do with my life
