[Chorus]
Pissin' in the wind
Bettin’ on a losin' friend
Makin' the same mistakes we swear we’ll never make again
We're pissin' in the wind
And it's blowin' on all our friends
Yes we're gonna sit and grin and tell our grandchildren

[Verse 1]
About the time I called this guy up at four in the morning
To teach me the words to a song I was humming
Like uh-huh-uh-uh
Somethin' like mmm-hmmm-hmmm
He just laughed and he said that the old gray cat was sneakin' down the hall
All he wants to know is who in the hell is paying for this call

[Chorus]
Pissin’ in the wind
Bettin’ on a losin' friend
Makin’ the same mistakes we swear we'll never make again
We're pissin' in the wind
It’s blowin' on all our friends
We're gonna sit and grin and tell our grandchildren

[Verse 2]
'Bout the time this old Nunn called me late in the evenin'
Wondered to know how in the world I was doin'
I said "uhh-huh-huh
"Mmm-hmm-hmm"
He just laughed and he said "Get it together boy and fall on by my house
"Some Gonzo buddies would like to play anything you're picking now"
[Chorus]
Pissin' in the wind
Bettin' on a losin' friend
Makin' the same mistakes we swear we'll never make again
We're pissin' in the wind
It's blowin' on all our friends
Yes we're gonna sit and grin and tell our grandchildren

[Verse 3]
How we worked and we struggled and suffered makin' our records 'til we got 'em right
And now we're waiting on the check to come creepin' down the hall
Like that old time feelin'
That we never should have ever put that record out at all

[Chorus]
Pissin' in the wind
Bettin' on a losin' friend
Makin' the same mistakes we swear we'll never make again
We're pissin' in the wind
It's blowin' on all our friends
We're gonna sit and grin and tell our grandchildren

[Outro]
That the answer my friend
Is just pissin' in the wind
The answer is pissin' in the sink
[Outro 2]
Now that's a touchin' piece of music right there, I'll tell ya what
