Turnpike Troubadours What Was Advertised Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When it all went off the rails
Come to port with tattered sails
Every victory and fail adds to nothing
And you're grateful for the grift
For the ticket and the lift
Another pint, another fifth down to empty

[Chorus]
Still I've yet to see what was advertised to me
Well, I need something to go my way
[Verse 2]
The whole thing's upside-down
The lost and never found
I'm gonna sell it by the pound when it's over
Did you dig yourself a hole
With your lack of self-control?
Well, if that ain't rock 'n' roll, I've never seen it [Chorus]
Still I've yet to see what was advertised to me
Well, I need something to go my way

[Verse 3]
The gospel from the lie
The ears of passersby
Pretty sure you ought to try to learn the difference
Where the hell did you come from?
Are you only playing dumb?
What's that tune you made me hum, little darling?

[Chorus]
Still I've yet to see what was advertised to me
Well, I need something to go my way
Still I've yet to see what was advertised to me
Well, I need something to go my way
