Going to Long John Silvers

[Erthona]

I’m going to Long John Silvers, where I’ll blow my brains away.
Holy lord almighty, what a hell of a day.

Got caught up in a hook and snag,
and I lost some money at the old horse track,   (snag and track, pronounced as snagt and tragt, so I have no problem with the rhyme)
guzzled down whiskey in the bright midday,
‘til the blinding sun blazoned bright dismay.

I’m going to Long John Silvers, where I’ll blow my brains away.
Holy lord almighty, what a hell of a day.

Said to myself I wouldn’t turn on the car, ("Said to myself, wouldn't turn on that car")
but the liquor store didn’t seem that far,
took off my mirror swiping a mailbox, (took off my mirror, swiped an old mailbox")
then I slithered home to a couple big shots.

I’m going to Long John Silvers, where I’ll blow my brains away.
Holy lord almighty, what a hell of a day.

Drenched myself, made my lips real dry,
and I gasped out slow that I’m ready to die,
reached in the sock where I kept my glock,
decided just to end all the guilt in one shot. (decided to end the guilt in a single shot)

I’m going to Long John Silvers, where I’ll blow my brains away.
Holy lord almighty, what a hell of a day.

I’m going to Long John Silvers, on the congested freeway, (Down to Long John Silver's on a choked freeway)
going to Long John Silvers, all you swimming fish make way,
I’m going away, I’ve decided my fate, (Now I'm going away, cause I've decided my fate)
determined the time when I’ll lay prostrate.

I’m going to Long John Silvers, where I’ll blow my brains away.
Holy lord almighty, what a hell of a day.

Should always be "Long John Silver's"

Kind of stylized musically like "Hit the road Jack" with a nice walking bass line.

Oh yea, did someone mention reversing the order of the lines:

"Holy lord almighty, what a hell of a day
I’m going to Long John Silver's, where I’ll blow my brains away.


Best,
