lyrics

Well I’m sorry I got stoned again, I’m sorry that I can’t say when
Enough is enough when the edge is coming on.
Well I apologize about the shape I’m in
And being the one to pitch the circus tent.
The only thing I can say is “when in Rome”

Because when in Rome this is how it’s done,
Take a couple more when you only need one.
See how far you can make it go.
Just because it glitters that don’t mean that it’s gold but baby “when in Rome”

I could see the lights flashing way downtown
At a place where even angels won’t come around.
I was wondering to myself if I’m ever gonna make it back home.
But my toe started tapping when the drugs kicked in,
The only way to make the devil your friend.
If you can’t beat ‘em gonna have to join ‘em, “when in Rome.”

Well I started keeping time with Wagon Wheel
I was wondering if what I was seeing was real.
If I would’ve never told ‘em I bet they would’ve never known.
But Lord, please forgive me for what came next.
I hate to let you down but what did you expect.
The time called for desperate measures, “when in Rome.’’
