Gigged out

Tired, neutered and flat

Drowsy, battered and crap

Scatered, ears ringing and wondering

where did my weekend go?

 

Gigged out

Spat out and hurt

Load-in, set up in dirt

Sound checked, rain and disturbed

 

Darkness, smokey and curt

Irritable, sweaty of course

Days lost to the night

Hungry, beyond "alright?"

 

Midnight arrives

Still loading out in droves

Bit by bit edging closer

To a three hour drive to be over 

 

Flashes of images linger

Give the weekend the finger

Feeling exhausted and like a jerk

Landing unfortunately back to work
