Upside of Being Down

[Verse 1]
Curtains closed, motel room
Smells like smoke and cheap perfume
A whiskey bottle, halfway gone
But that's halfway full when you're alone
Ain't a memory too strong to drown
Yeah that's the upside of being down

[Verse 2]
I must be a sight with this pounding head
Swollen eyes a couple shades past red
Well I can't remember last time I shaved
I don't look like the boy my mama raised
But there ain't nobody gonna come around
That's the upside of being down

[Chorus]
Yeah once you hit the bottom
Only one place left to go
That's six feet under
In a four by eight cold hole
In a vault that's sealed so tight
Her memory can't come around
That's the upside of being down
Oh that's the upside of being down
