Salutations folks, I'm your gracious host And I'd just like to take a moment to make a toast No famous quotes, no tasteless jokes Just raise your glass like its your last, ain't no way to know Here's to the days we do, here's to the days we don't Here's to the days that we walk out on the stage and choke Here's to the sunny days that still leave our faces soaked Here's to my favorite folks that make my heart ache the most Here's to everybody hopin to escape their ghosts Here's to all the wrong ways to cope Here's to you and what you gotta do to make your boat stay afloat Plus an inflated coat, just in case it don't Ups and downs, life is like an elevator But every trip to the basement feels like the brakes are broke A card table in a wave of smoke Play it close to the chest, jack, don't ever let your aces show Even when fate has erased the last trace of hope Even when you pavin a road with no place to go The story ain't over until the last page is wrote and A love song is all talk til you play the notes so Salutations folks, I'm your gracious host And I'd just like to take a moment to make a toast No famous quotes, no tasteless jokes Just raise your glass like its your last, ain't no way to know
