Super rough edit. Just throwing something out there. Someday I'll record it for real. <3
lyrics
As a kid I assumed that we’d ALL grow old.
Mom and Pop worked.
Wasn’t Hungry, wasn’t cold.
Soda in the fridge,
Us kids was really settled in.
Churched on Sundays,
Out the back was mother’s garden.
Bleu-belly string-bean
Ambushed by puberty.
Found a wrinkled porno mag
Inside a hollow tree.
Few hairs on my chin
Had me driven’ through the cornfields.
Flippin’ off the cops
Five beans in the wheel.
I never meant to hurt folks, never meant a lick.
Of all this bullshit pouring’ out my lips.
I’ll keep tryin’ not to be a piece of shit.
Focus on my friends & start
Tryin’ not to bitch.
If it wasn’t for my pals ,
Would'a flunked outta high school.
Lazy wolf
Didn’t see the silver in my spoon.
Packed up my pickup truck. .
& headed for a town.
Smelled over-cooked oatmeal
Dr. Z was gettin’ down.
Books took a backseat
Sailor Jerry rode shotgun.
Devil in the crockpot
Felt my first eviction.
College life, not for me.
Dad said, “You’re on your own.”
Took a long time ‘fore
I ran outta scape-goats.
I never meant to hurt folks, never meant a lick.
Of all this bullshit pouring’ out my lips.
I’ll keep tryin’ not to be a piece of shit.
Focus on my friends & start
Tryin’ not to bitch.
Seen the best side of 30
Folks seen the worst side of me.
Unwound, unforgiven,
unshaved drunk and mean.
Old dan, old scratch,
Outta touch, gettin’ fat.
I’m a left leaning’ redneck
Between hay & grass.
“Carpentry is the
Illusion of perfection”
Took for granted every
Single healthy connection.
Mouth full a cuss words
Tomorrow ain’t guaranteed.
Baby-steppin back from
Bein’ such a nosebleed.
I never meant to hurt folks, never meant a lick.
Of all this bullshit pouring’ out my lips.
I’ll keep tryin’ not to be a piece of shit.
Focus on my friends & start
Tryin’ not to bitch.
