I said, "I'm drinkin' up.
Would you like a belt yerself?" You said, "Thanks, but no thanks, I don't drink, myself. But you go right ahead, my friend, I'm not the sort that minds." "That's good to hear," I said "Because I think you'll find that I don't care that you don't mind." I said, "I'm lightin' up. Would you like a puff?" You said, "Thanks, but no thanks, I don't do that stuff. But you go right ahead, my friend, I'm not the sort that minds." "That's good to hear," I said "Because I think you'll find that I don't care that you don't mind." I said "Let's do the nasty, I like it when it's rough." You said, "Well, I'm not so sure I like that kind of stuff. But I'll roll over just for you And take it from behind." "That's good to hear," I said "Because I think you'll find that I don't care that you don't mind." |

Come with me down this ol' road
Where I got stuck and later towed Listen to the sound of the falling rain We just might end up stuck again The little bird can sing and sing The little bird knows everything But the little bird don't bother with song He knows that it just goes on and on and on and on Climb up in this tree with me The branches are big and there's plenty to see Listen to the sound of the blowin' leaves Feel that breeze goin' through your sleeves The little bird can sing and sing The little bird knows everything But the little bird don't bother with song He knows that it just goes on and on and on and on Don't go followin' me no more I'm sick of your face at my back door Don't you listen to the bird in your head Just remember what I said The little bird can sing and sing The little bird knows everything But the little bird don't bother with song He knows that it just goes on and on and on and on and on Come with me down this ol' road Where I got stuck and later towed Listen to the sound of the falling rain We just might end up stuck again... |

Rise up on your feet again
Wake yourself from your sleep Seems it never ever ends Like an ocean cold and deep Let it feel like something else Let it be a breeze Let me be like someone else With something else to see Out here on the sea again The waves are rolling high The stowaways are laughing And the children want to cry Let it feel like something else Let it be a breeze Let me be like someone else With something else to see Deep inside this dream again And searching for the tracks Sitting by that window then, Where now you can't go back... Let it feel like something else Let it be a breeze Let me be like someone else With something else to see |

Just don't tell the things you know
Never show the things you see Let's keep this little secret with you and me First come outside here with me I know it's night, but I can see - That's right, step out, take my hand And I'll help to make you understand Just don't tell the things you know Never show the things you see Let's keep this little secret with you and me Let's keep this little secret with you and me I like nights when there's no moon I like suckin' on snakebite wounds I like thinkin' bout you and me Twined up in the grass by the apple tree Just don't tell the things you know Never show the things you see Let's keep this little secret with you and me Let's keep this little secret with you and me Bite my lip and make it bleed My heart is running twice the speed If you wanna know just how I feel Listen to the sound of my spinnin' wheels Just don't tell the things you know Never show the things you see Let's keep this little secret with you and me Let's keep this little secret with you and me |

Listen to the grass that's out there blowin'
Look at that tractor just there sittin' It's my name that the bottle's callin' Listen to the goddamn song I'm singin' Drink your wine, listen to the crickets It's so fine out here in the thickets Sittin' on a tree stump, that's the ticket, uh-huh Look at that doggy sittin' on the stairs Look at that star shinin' way up there Think of all the things that they're doin' in jail Think of all the rich ones out on bail Drink your wine, listen to the crickets It's so fine out here in the thickets Sittin' on a tree stump, that's the ticket, uh-huh Look at the TV, it's all crappy Look at the bald spot on yer pappy Listen to his wheatfield out there blowin' Hope its doin' better than his hair at growin' Drink your wine, listen to the crickets It's so fine out here in the thickets Sittin' on a tree stump, that's the ticket, uh-huh |

The rain on the ground
The empty town Nothing is left in the lost and found Hot sun, buzzin' flies Hurtin' head, squinty eyes Look at me and how I've done Shootin' tin cans with my daddy's old gun And the army is strong And the navy's at sea As I sit on my porch and watch TV Hot sun, buzzin' flies Hurtin' head, squinty eyes Look at me and how I've done Shootin' tin cans with my daddy's old gun I'm too weak to fight I can't get to sleep The ocean outside is cold and deep Hot sun, buzzin' flies Hurtin' head, squinty eyes Look at me and how I've done Shootin' tin cans with my daddy's old gun |

Don't let a crawdad bite yer toe
The dirty little thing will never let go Don't let your car go off the road Remember that your haulin' a heavy load You with the beady piggy eyes Go and live yer devil ways Just don't come 'round here no more Temptin' me with yer devil days You with the beady piggy eyes Go and live yer devil ways Just don't come 'round here no more Temptin' me with yer devil days Don't let a doggy bite yer leg Whup him on the ass and tie him to a peg - Don't tell me that your shit don't stink It's worse than the puke in the kitchen sink You with the beady piggy eyes Go and live yer devil ways Just don't come 'round here no more Temptin' me with yer devil days Put up your dukes or stop that talkin' That's my woman so quit yer gawkin' Keep yer fingers off my truck Remember that it's mine, you fuck You with the beady piggy eyes Go and live yer devil ways Just don't come 'round here no more Temptin' me with yer devil days |

A friend is a need
Like a gauze when you bleed And you're layin' and cryin' away And the dozen or so Of the friends that I know Aren't worth the time anyway The tree can be a hangin' tree The rose a thorny stem The wind can blow across the field But it's always us or them Yeah it's always us or them A song is a thing That you you write and you sing When you're layin' and cryin' away And the dozen or so That I wrote long ago Don't sound good anymore anyway The tree can be a hangin' tree The rose a thorny stem The wind can blow across the field But it's always us or them Yeah it's always us or them A prayer is a thing Like a kite on a string That can snap and get lost in the sky And a dare is a dare So you better beware 'Cause soon you'll be saying goodbye The tree can be a hangin' tree The rose a thorny stem The wind can blow across the field But it's always us or them Yeah it's always us or them |

I get up every morning
I'm mean to everyone But you just you ignore me You seem think it's fun And I need to get away And you need to get away from me And you see it's the right thing And that is why you're right for me And that is why you're right for me I watch the girly dancers Passing one by one I'll never really have to meet them I have my dance and we're done And I need to get away And you need to get away from me And you see it's the right thing And that is why you're right for me And that is why you're right for me I've got a book of special pictures I take a peek off and on When I'm alone in the morning I get my own thing going on And I need to get away And you need to get away from me And you see it's the right thing And that is why you're right for me And I need to get away And you need to get away from me And you see it's the right thing And that is why you're right for me And that is why you're right for me |

You said that you were getting cigarettes
It¹s been a week and you're not back yet Your ashtray sits, empty, unused I sit waitin', empty, confused What could I have done To make you feel this way? What could I have said To make you walk away? If only I could know, If only I could see But you're not ever comin' back to me You said I was the only man for you But now it seems you've got another view And is it someone else, or was it me? Who is it with whom you'd rather be? What could I have done To make you feel this way? What could I have said To make you walk away? If only I could know, If only I could see But you're not ever comin' back to me I go to bed at night and dream of you But in my dreams you're not just one, but two And arm in arm you walk the beach Just far enough to be out of reach What could I have done To make you feel this way? What could I have said To make you walk away? If only I could know, If only I could see But you're not ever comin' back to me |

You could be away for quite some time
But you'd never leave my foolish mind You can step right on my foolish heart You had me hooked, you had me from the start Put me in a corner of your mind Think of me and you from time to time Take me to a place I'd rather see Show me someone I would rather be You could step into my open door I never felt this crazy way before Just the way you walk right down the street You never ever miss a single beat Put me in a corner of your mind Think of me and you from time to time Take me to a place I'd rather see Show me someone I would rather be You can fall asleep and I won't mind You can dream the dreams deep in your mind I will lie awake and hear you breathe Just promise me that you will never leave Put me in a corner of your mind Think of me and you from time to time Take me to a place I'd rather see Show me someone I would rather be |

I shot an ol' bottle with my favorite gun just last night
It shattered and the sound made me feel like the king I am The neighbors all heard and got scared Thought it was a gunfight But hell, it was fun, so I did it again 'Cause that's the kinda king I am I shoot 'em up, I shoot 'em down I shoot the lost, I shoot the found And if there's someone I can't find Well, then I shoot 'em in my mind I turned on the radio and listened to the ol' songs playin' And things started feelin' good and right again So I shot up a crow in a tree after dinner this evenin Its good to keep yer trigger finger nimble, I'll tell you what, my friend I shoot 'em up, I shoot 'em down I shoot the lost, I shoot the found And if there's someone I can't find Well, then I shoot 'em in my mind I shot my daddy in the arm, with morphine He said he never felt so good in all his goddamn life So I shot him up just once more, fer good measure He never woke up, and ever since, it's been a mighty peaceful life I shoot 'em up, I shoot 'em down I shoot the lost, I shoot the found And if there's someone I can't find Well, then I shoot 'em in my mind |

Watch that spider in the bathroom sink
He¹s a better friend than you might think So let him spin his web in peace He catches creepy crawly things I never fall asleep at night I never get the chance My thoughts won't stop spinning round They dance and dance and dance Watch each hair on your head turn gray Look out the window and count your days One two four five six seven eight There ain't much to love and there's plenty to hate I never fall asleep at night I never get the chance My thoughts won't stop spinning round They dance and dance and dance Look at that bone-yard over there You can see it out the window from the kitchen chair I wanna see my name carved in one of them stones I wanna be part of them rottin' bones I never fall asleep at night I never get the chance My thoughts won't stop spinning round They dance and dance and dance |
