Story behind the song

I met a guy who was a regular at a bar
who told all these stories about his past. I heard all about his ex-wives, and his low wage job, and how much the cost of cigarettes have gone since he was a kid. Little does he know he inspired a song

Lyrics

I was born on a full moon
on a hot summer night in June
here I am after 30 years and
my life is switching gears

when I was a kid all the thing I did
yea, I guess they seemed so stupid
I combed my hair and I said a prayer
and went off to find a dare

I'm tired of this town
so in this bottle I will drown
with my head spinning round
seems I'm only heading down

I bought a new car at 21
and man did I have fun
felt like the power of 300 horses
but I don't drive it much anymore

we got married 8 years ago
couldn't describe the way I felt about you
we were in love so long ago
now all we ever do is argue

I'm tired of this town
so in this bottle I will drown
with my head spinning round
seems I'm only heading down

I'm lighting up cigarette
and smokin til there's nothing left
then I'm taking the car to a bar downtown
then I'll just drive around

tomorrow will bear another hard day
of working at the loading bay
when I come home I don't wanna be alone
so I'm meeting the guys at Malone's

I'm tired of this town
so in this bottle I will drown
with my head spinning round
seems I'm only heading down
