Rhett Miller
Total Disaster
[Verse 1]
I took the high road once; it was lonely
I find the low road much more fun
I felt like I was running for office
Now I'm always on the run

[Verse 2]
I pushed a boulder up a-over and over
I pulled a billion dirty tricks
I put away enough Irish whiskey
To fill the river sticks

[Chorus 1]
I told you lies
Then you got wise
The truth is, I’m a total disaster

[Verse 3]
Girl's name and the color of her eyes
Street name and the phase of the moon
Write 'em down in a beat-up notebook
Set it to a catchy tune

[Chorus 2]
This is what I do
To all of you
Truth is, I’m a total disaster

[Bridge]
There's no such thing as perfect
Why even try?
There's no such thing as perfect
Why even try?

[Verse 4]
If you choose to stay by my side
You got to get that I got flaws
Feel free to leave anytime
Lord knows I will give you cause

[Chorus 3]
Yeah you get to choose
Now you know the truth
The truth is, I'm a total disaster
