Got a ticket on the main line
I was stranded on the fault line
I got wasted on the moonshine
Too far gone

I was walking in the sun down
I was heading for the breakdown
When you're sleeping on the cold ground
Too far gone

There was a cloud
Hanging over me
And something just reached out
And grabbed a hold of me

Inside of the belly of the whale
Outside they was beatin' on the door
Somebody's goin' down tonight
I said, "Boys, he don't live here no more"
He don't live here no more

I was riding on the night train
I was moving in the fast lane
And I was only trying to kill the pain
Too far gone

I was running on a red light
Always looking for a street fight

Too far gone

When you're waiting
For the axe to drop
When you're hooked so bad
You could not stop

Inside of the belly of the whale
Outside they was beatin' on the door
Somebody goin' down tonight
I said, "Boys, he don't live here no more"
He don't live here no more

Got no one to blame
But myself
And they couldn't hear my distant
Cry for help

Inside of the belly of the whale
Outside they was beatin' on the door
Somebody's goin' down tonight
I said, "Boys, he don't live here no more"
He don't live here no more
He don't live here no more
He don't live here no more

Got a ticket on the main line
I was stranded on the fault line
I got wasted on the moonshine
