Total Disaster - Rhett Miller

I took the high road once;

it was lonely

I find the low road much more fun

I felt like I was running for office

Now I’m always on the run

I pushed a boulder up a-over and over

I pulled a billion dirty tricks

I put away enough Irish whiskey

To fill the river Styx

I told you lies

Then you got wise

The truth is

I’m a total disaster

Girl’s name and the color of her eyes

Street name and the phase of the moon

Write 'em down in a beat-up notebook

Set it to a catchy tune

This is what I do

To all of you

Truth is

I’m a total disaster

There’s no such thing as perfect

Why even try?

There’s no such thing as perfect

Why even try?

If you choose to stay by my side

You got to get that I got flaws

Feel free to leave anytime

Lord knows I will give you cause

Yeah, you get to choose

Now you know the truth

The truth is

I’m a total disaster
