lyrics

Hey buddy how you doin’ looks like your just getting off work
oh yeah I was doing construction too before I got hurt
But you know the worker’s comp gets me by and the painkillers make me feel fine
and lately I’ve just been killing time

Yeah I hurt my back its been about 7 or 8 months now I think
Shit I’m sorry my name’s Charlie let me buy you a drink
Cause I know the feeling when a man needs to unwind
and spend the evening kicking back killing time

Killing time, Killing Time
Lately I’ve been killing time

Its like my little cousin Eddy started smoking at age twelve
And soon came daddy’s whiskey and momma’s prescription pills
By fifteen he was selling grass by seventeen he was cutting lines
On his twenty first he got busted and now he’s killing time

And my big aunt Shirley got knocked up at age nineteen
By some pretty boy college kid passing through on his way to Abilene
And since then she’s worked night and day just to keep that family alive
And she’d give anything just to kill some time
Killing time…

I’ve been watching the six o’clock news every night from this bar stool
And I’ve come figure the government takes us all for fools
Cause even a drunkard like me can see right through the lies
I mean god damn that man just sitting there killing time

Joshua Lowe Santa Cruz, California

"Ripping their way through the American roots music landscape in high-energy style, the Santa Cruz-based Juncos are a down- home band that is more throwback than revival. With an appreciation for the acoustic life and a gather-'round-the-mic-y'all recording style, this is a group that understands the strength of a good song and how to let it stand on it's own." SC Weekly - June 2011 ... more
