lyrics

Sugar City on a drunk
Make or break that's for sure
Chips are down, life in a trunk
Sugar City be the cure

Rolling out of Sugar City
Off my feet on Bullet Street
Gamblin' joints showed no pity
Personal best beat retreat

I took them on and I lost
Now it's time to avoid the cost
It's a hard road to walk I know
With a hat-full of rain and snow
With a hat-full of rain

Drive through wedding lasted one night
She's stone cold gone away
I couldn't face her, it's alright
In this hard hat area today

I took them on and I lost
Now it's time to avoid the cost
It's a hard road to walk I know
With a hat-full of rain and snow
With a hat-full of rain

Sugar City sucks the soul
I wish I'd never came
Dose of salts cleans you whole
Wish I could recall my name

I took them on and I lost
Now it's time to avoid the cost
It's a hard road to walk I know
With a hat-full of rain and snow
With a hat-full of rain

I took them on and I lost
Now it's time to avoid the cost
It's a hard road to walk I know
With a hat-full of rain and snow
With a hat-full of rain and snow
