Fire one up and you toss one down Everybody knows you been downtown Been downtown late last night Busted your head in a barroom fight Fightin' with your brother fightin' with your wife Seems you been fightin' every day of your life Can't stand still, still can't run You put it all together but it came undone
Your soul is junk, your brain is dust All your memories are eaten up with rust Your nightmares real, dreams too stark You love the night but you hate the dark Your mother your daddy little sister too Told you a secret they were countin' on you You were dying to tell but your dad said son Button your lip but it come undone
So they turned you out when you turned them in They told you don't come back again Now the years stack up like old beer cans Dead end jobs payment plans Broke down trucks welfare checks Child support and back-seat sex You'd kill yourself but you hocked your gun You built a noose but it come undone
So you're livin' in a shack bu you wanna be rich And you would if it wasn't for the sonovabitch The sonovabitch the dirty old whore The butcher the baker the grocery store You hate them they hate you What in the world are you gonna do It ain't your fault but they need someone To blame it on when they come undone
Now the storm's comin' in the sky's turned black It's too late now you can't turn back Lightnin' strikes on the telephone wire You're drunk as a skunk your shack's on fire The wife took the baby and the other two kids The dogs are a-howlin' and the chickens are dead It's your last night out and you're gonna have fun They'll read it in the papers when you come undoneTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
