Lyrics
Good pals with the liquor store off Main
The singer has a close relationship with a liquor store located on Main Street.
Raise a glass, its me and Johnny Cash once again
Celebrating with a drink, reminiscent of times spent with Johnny Cash.
Record plays and I think that the ceiling's moving
The music playing makes the singer feel disoriented, as if the ceiling is moving.
Sitting up laying down I think I've had enough
Feeling overwhelmed by alcohol, unsure whether to sit up or lie down.
Times up. Where will you take me
Feeling a sense of urgency or limitation, wondering about the future destination.
Bottoms up for this this life that I can't
Toasting to a life that feels unmanageable or beyond control.
Fortunes they seem to escape me
Feeling like luck or success consistently eludes the singer.
I'm tumbling in a laundromat (Laundromat)
Metaphorically tumbling or struggling in a chaotic state, likened to a laundromat.
Laundromat (Laundromat)
Repetition emphasizing the chaotic feeling of being in a metaphorical 'laundromat'.
Greetings from this car that just won't start (From this car that just won't start)
Stuck in a car that won't start, feeling immobilized or unable to move forward.
And I'm stuck here in this empty parking lot (In this empty parking lot)
Being stranded in a desolate or empty place, feeling isolated or alone.
And I drive round and round but still I'm searching
Continuously searching for direction or purpose but feeling lost.
The trouble is I don't, I don't know where to go
Expressing confusion about where to go or what choices to make.
Times up. Where will you take me
Reiteration of the urgency or uncertainty regarding the future.
Bottoms up for this this life that I can't
Toasting again to a life that feels unmanageable or beyond control.
Fortunes they seem to escape me
Continued frustration about the elusive nature of luck or success.
I'm tumbling in a (Laundromat)
Repeating the feeling of being caught in a chaotic state, akin to a 'laundromat'.
Times up oh where will you take me
Restating the urgency or uncertainty regarding the future destination.
Bottoms up for this this life that I can't
Toasting once more to a life that feels uncontrollable.
Fortunes they seem to escape me
Continued frustration about the persistent elusiveness of luck or success.
I'm tumbling in a laundromat (Laundromat)
Reiterating the feeling of tumbling or struggling in a chaotic state, like a 'laundromat'.

Times up oh where will you take me
Re-emphasizing the urgency or uncertainty about the future destination.
Bottoms up for this this life that I can
Toasting to a life that feels uncontrollable or beyond the singer's grasp.
Fortunes they seem to escape me
Continued frustration about the ongoing elusiveness of luck or success.
I'm tumbling in a
Expressing being caught or trapped in a chaotic state, akin to a 'laundromat'.
