    Do you have the social distancing blues?! So do we. Here's an album we've written and recorded from our home over the past few months, inspired by COVID-19. With all of our tours and shows cancelled for the foreseeable future (and since March), we figured we'd set our sites on something topical. We hope these songs can help you get through these strange times.

lyrics

I picked a bad time to quit drinking, what the hell was I thinking?
I picked a bad time to quit drinking, when the world has been postponed. 
I picked a bad time to quit drinking, miss the sound of bottles clinking, 
I fear my ships already sinking, 
so I might as well get stoned. 

This ol' town has been shut down and the streets are paved with fear 
I haven't seen a soul for days 
2020's been a messed up year

I picked a bad time to quit drinking, what the hell was I thinking?
I picked a bad time to quit drinking, when the world has been postponed. 
I picked a bad time to quit drinking, miss the sound of bottles clinking, 
I fear my ships already sinking, 
And I’m stick right here at home 

I ain't got a show to play,
and you just got laid off. 
If only we could pay the bills with our free time and this cough

I picked a bad time to quit drinking, what the hell was I thinking?
I picked a bad time to quit drinking
So I might as well get stoned 

But it ain’t all so bad
I should mention all the things I have
And the darkness that has left and gone away
Now when I wake up with no hangover, no regrets
I’m ready, I’m ready for whatever comes my way

I picked the right time to quit drinking
Now I know what I was thinking
I picked the right time to quit drinking 
When the world has all gone mad

I picked the right time to quit drinking 
My waistline started shrinking 
My attitude stopped stinking
Being sober ain’t so bad!
