Recovering Idiot

music and lyrics by Mark Brut

Hanging out on the porch up in Evergreen
Tasting the whiskey that I'm throwing back
Looking out at the mountains
They no longer are calling your name

I used to think the world was normal
I used to think lies were truth
Now I'm just a recovering idiot
And I don't need anymore proof

Down in the south they do things differently
But still I remain proud of where I come from
Bitterness ain't gonna get you nowhere
It's better to leave it and move on

Sit on the barstool alone in Memphis
A faint smile comes to my face
Look across the bar at a man and his lady
I know too well that look on his face

I used to think the world was normal
I used to think lies were truth
Now I'm just a recovering idiot
And I don't need anymore proof

Old habits seem harder to break
And I'm done racking my brain
And I'll keep all of the roses
'Cause this time, you're going insane
