Well a drop in the morning makes you get up twice as strong When you get up and roll over and can't feel your fucking arms Well, you wobble where you're working, cry unto your god screaming for your mother as you wonder what you've done Singing: Oh my Lord, this is not What I came, Here to for Why can't I love, this girl I've got? Longest day on this earth I've seen When Georgia pressed her lips unto me I'll grab your hand and give it a squeeze I'm bound to ride, don't you want to go? I'm bound to ride, don't you want to go? I'm bound to ride, don't you want to go with me? When you're peeking in the corner and your momma peeks you back You better scurry to the graveyard and hug her round the neck You were taking all her money for to buy your gasoline Now you're fucking your friends half to death to get another drink Singing: Oh my Lord, this is not What I came, Here to for Why can't I love, this girl I've got? Longest day on this earth I've seen When Georgia pressed her lips unto me I'll grab your hand and give it a squeeze I'm bound to ride, don't you want to go? I'm bound to ride, don't you want to go? I'm bound to ride, don't you want to go with me? Where all the birds have diamond eyes And all the world will give you a smile And all the boys don't ever ask you why Now doesn't that sound so nice? Drop in the morning makes me get up twice as strong When I get up and roll over and, fuck it, I'm alone.

If I call you woman and you refuse to come Hot boiling water swear won't help you none You keep hollering about your going time But you ain't got the train fare like I swear I got mine I swim these blue seas with this mountain on my back I conquer these lions even turn the panthers back Talk about your brick house lord you oughta see my frame Talk about your yellow gal you ain't never seen Crow Jane She don't use tobacco, Lord I swear she don't dip snuff She ain't no high yellow woman but I believe she's brown enough Lord I called for whiskey, had the nerve to bring me gasoline My home ain't here mama it's down in New Orleans I swim these blue seas with this mountain on my back I conquer these lions even turn the panthers back If I call you mama and you refuse to come Hot boiling water I swear won't help you none

The Onion 03:59
When you come from foreign lands it must be hard to bow your head But let me take you by the hand and learn you some When the owls refuse to prey and all the cats have slunk away You better run back where you're from I can get most any day the light that shines from Jesus' grave If this wine and these old girls would let me pray I'll have a little talk with someone dear and I'll tell him what he fears And I'll cry and melt away Well I may be hers but you gave an onion Smash a glass, to my base heart And you'll pull me up safe from destruction And I'll toss you in where you belong I been a whole week drunk, playing horns with awful luck In the king of Israel's wedding band I got a wife and a bull dog too, my wife don't love me that bull dog do But here comes that mighty man Well I may be hers but you gave an onion Smash a glass, to my base heart And you'll pull me up safe from destruction And I'll toss you in where you belong He may be yours but I'd like to ruin you I'll show you around the town I'm from Apples grow on trees and I gulp with ecstasy Why can't I grow a pink lady?

I'm A Queen 04:22
Wake me up if I'm falling down I'll sit up and ask you what's all so loud? Drag me to the couch and let me sleep How'd I get into this place? I'm alright I got a bad headache How'd I give and how'd you take? But in my dreams You're a shark and I'm a queen And I've got jewels and finery And you've got fins and you've got teeth Twirl and bend and float and sink We had days that I'll always think of you and your false teeth Well drag me to the couch and let me sleep How'd you give me this old headache? How did you give and how'd I take? But in my dreams You're a shark and I'm a queen And I've got jewels and finery And you've got fins and you've got false teeth

If you're going back to Austin If you're going to your Mom's If you're going to North Carolina You'll be knowing I'll miss you some When I'm laying in the night time And I can't go back to sleep I'll be balled up and I'll be shivering But that wanting be holding me Now I've got you and it's something Just enough to make me stay Well it ain't much but it's restful Until the morning comes again We ain't never been discordant But I ain't never loved no one If I ever throw you down ----- Know you done killed me some After all this there won't be nothing For you to pity about poor me I'll have hauled down all your garments You'll be my favorite enemy And if you die love, I'll count my blessings Scratch them up there into the wall That i didn't have to do it And now you're gone, now you're gone
