    Story Behind the Song
    I was sitting in my local, having a peaceful afternoon, when in walks the big tough guy whose always pushing everones noses. And I just sat there in the corner writing down these words I'd have for him if I had no cares about being rather smashed-up, I did, so I didn't.

    Lyrics
    So you're tough as nails
    'cause you rode into hell
    just to come back again
    And you got no friends
    'cause you don't trust them
    not to turn their backs again
    And you don't like women
    'cause you know the one you're beating
    is going to try to leave again
    If I was you I'd think the whole thing through
    Before you get the rack again

    So you're standing at the bar
    Slamming down tequila
    Feeling real tough again
    Yeah, you're looking for a fight
    Just to round off the night
    To make you feel alive again
    And some girl just walked in
    Yeah, but she's with him
    So you're gonna letch again
    You don't try to pretend
    You don't care who you affend
    As long as you're a man again

    But do you think anyone would care
    If you were to just disappear
    Do you watch your back
    When your walking home all alone
    Too Tall's all alone

    Now you know that there's many
    Who will smile and act friendly
    'cause they're scared again
    Just trying to get through the night
    Just trying to stay out of sight
    Of you're glare again
    And the bartender
    Doesn't want to affend ya
    So you get another drink again
    Yeah, you're king of the night
    With you're hate and your spite
    Acting like a jerk again

    So it's the end of the night
    And you drag your ass outa sight
    To be sick alone again
    Yeah, you pass out on the floor
    With your feet out the door
    Sleeping in your boots again
    But you got a big knief
    Yeah, to justify your life
    And push your point again
    But if I was you
    I'd think the whole thing through
    Before you get the rack again
