Los Borrachos (I Don’t Have Any Hope Left, but the Weather Is Nice) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Being sad's so boring
I'm taking a vacation
I'm driving down to see my old friends tonight
Let's spend the week with rosy cheeks
And crush the grapes beneath our feet
And stop burrowing through old chocolate boxes
Like a heartbroken Bacchus
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
I miss those good old boys
They could still find joy in life to talk about
I miss those good old boys
They could still find joy in life to talk about
[Verse 2]
Leave that girl behind you
Or whatever it is that's got you
We've still got time for one more drink tonight
Think what the others would say
If they saw you in the bathroom
Kicking the stall door
They'd say get out of your head for a while
Jump into mine
Leave it on repeat and it says
Being sad's so boring
I'm taking a vacation
I'm driving down to see my old friends tonight
Let's spend the week with rosy cheeks
And crush the grapes beneath our feet
And stop burrowing through old chocolate boxes
Like a heartbroken Bacchus
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
I miss those good old boys
They could still find joy in life to talk about
I miss those good old boys
They could still find joy in life to talk about
[Verse 2]
Leave that girl behind you
Or whatever it is that's got you
We've still got time for one more drink tonight
Think what the others would say
If they saw you in the bathroom
Kicking the stall door
They'd say get out of your head for a while
Jump into mine
Leave it on repeat and it says
[Pre-Chorus]
And if I'd been a parrot I'd have been a very good parrot
And if I'd been a parent I'd have been my own parents
And if that's not apparent then it will be soon
[Chorus]
I miss those good old boys
They could still find joy in life to talk about
I miss those good old boys
They could still find joy in life to talk about
I miss those good old boys
They could still find joy in life to talk about
I miss those good old boys
They could still find joy in life to talk about
[Breakdown]
I miss you, miss you, miss you
I miss you, miss you, miss you
I miss you, miss you, miss you
(I don't have any hope left, but the weather is nice)
I miss you, miss you, miss you
(I don't have any hope left, but the weather is nice)
I miss you, miss you, miss you
(I don't have any hope left, but the weather is nice)
(I miss those good old boys
They could still find joy in life to talk about)
I miss you, miss you, miss you
(I don't have any hope left, but the weather is nice)
(I miss those good old boys
They could still find joy in life to talk about)
And if I'd been a parrot I'd have been a very good parrot
And if I'd been a parent I'd have been my own parents
And if that's not apparent then it will be soon
[Chorus]
I miss those good old boys
They could still find joy in life to talk about
I miss those good old boys
They could still find joy in life to talk about
I miss those good old boys
They could still find joy in life to talk about
I miss those good old boys
They could still find joy in life to talk about
[Breakdown]
I miss you, miss you, miss you
I miss you, miss you, miss you
I miss you, miss you, miss you
(I don't have any hope left, but the weather is nice)
I miss you, miss you, miss you
(I don't have any hope left, but the weather is nice)
I miss you, miss you, miss you
(I don't have any hope left, but the weather is nice)
(I miss those good old boys
They could still find joy in life to talk about)
I miss you, miss you, miss you
(I don't have any hope left, but the weather is nice)
(I miss those good old boys
They could still find joy in life to talk about)
[Bridge]
If you're trying to live, you have to own what you do
If you're trying to live, you have to own what you do
Oh Jesus Christ I
I wish I could talk like that
But such is my place in life
[Chorus]
I
I don't have
I don't have any hope
I don't have any hope left, but the weather is nice
[Outro]
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
If you're trying to live, you have to own what you do
If you're trying to live, you have to own what you do
Oh Jesus Christ I
I wish I could talk like that
But such is my place in life
[Chorus]
I
I don't have
I don't have any hope
I don't have any hope left, but the weather is nice
[Outro]
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
