Damned If I Do 02:24
lyrics
buy track
You’ve got to work more hours if you want to get more pay So I’m working like a dog every day But when that paycheck comes, I just can’t catch a break The more I work, the more Uncle Sam will take No matter if I will or if I won’t Damned if I do, damned if I don’t You’ve got to take those pills if you want to stop that pain Or you can fix it all and smoke some Mary Jane Well if I choose those pills, my organs all will fail But that Mary Jane might land me up in jail No matter if I will or if I won’t Damned if I do, damned if I don’t You’ve got to go and vote if you want to make things change You’ve got to fight to break free from these chains But no matter who we vote for, no matter what they claim They’re all the same; they just don’t use their brains No matter if I will or if I won’t Damned if I do, damned if I don’t

Road Kill Blues 03:04
lyrics

There was a raccoon, walkin’ through the forest Looking for a new place to call home And there was a semi driving down I-40 Just then that raccoon tried to cross the road And now there’s nothing he can do It’s the end of the road for that raccoon His life has come and gone and now is through He’s got the road kill blues There was a possum, lookin’ for some lovin’ He was man in need indeed Instead of getting’ something, he’ll be getting nothing He screwed up when he tried to cross the street And now there’s nothing he can do Playing possum aint gonna pull him through Billy Boy gonna make some possum stew He’s got the road kill blues There was a Tom Cat, struttin’ across town He saw a mouse and a chase began The mouse got away, nowhere to be found The cat was hit by an Astro mini-van AND NOW THERE’S NOTHING HE CAN DO HE’S DEAD AND HIS NINE LIVES ARE THROUGH THAT CAT HAS NOW BECOME VULTURE FOOD HE’S GOT THE ROAD KILL BLUES There was this squirrel, gatherin’ nuts He’d cross the street every chance he could The last time he crossed, there was blood and guts Now those nuts won’t do him any good AND NOW THERE’S NOTHING HE CAN DO HE LIVED LIFE IN THE FAST LAND AND HE KNEW ANOTHER SQUIRREL GONNA GET ALL HIS LOOT HE’S GOT THE ROAD KILL BLUES

We've Pissed Off The Neighbors Again 04:23
lyrics

Our grass is twelve inches long The chickens are out of their pen The kid’s toys are scattered all across the lawn We’ve pissed off the neighbors again We had a big party last night We invited all of our friends By the time we got through, it was 4 AM We’ve pissed off the neighbors again We’ve pissed off the neighbors again We’ve pissed off the neighbors again I don’t know if we’ll ever be friends We’ve pissed off the neighbors again Our neighbors painted their house Our paintball fight was intense It wouldn’t wash off despite our attempts We’ve pissed off the neighbors again My wife and I had a big fight We were yellin’ and cursin’ in sin When the cops showed up, we pointed next door We’ve pissed off the neighbors again We’ve pissed off the neighbors again We’ve pissed off the neighbors again I don’t know if we’ll ever be friends We’ve pissed off the neighbors again Our neighbors bought a new car A brand new Mercedes-Benz My boy hit a homer right through the windshield We’ve pissed off the neighbors again We let our four dogs out to pee They all broke out of the fence The all took big dumps in the lawn next door We’ve pissed off the neighbors again We’ve pissed off the neighbors again We’ve pissed off the neighbors again I don’t know if we’ll ever be friends We’ve pissed off the neighbors again Our neighbors moved out last week Some new ones are moving in We took them some wine, but it made ‘em real sick We’ve pissed off the neighbors again We’ve pissed off the neighbors again We’ve pissed off the neighbors again I don’t know if we’ll ever be friends We’ve pissed off the neighbors again

Storm of the South 05:21

There’s a big storm that’s headed our way They’re calling for flurries and flakes Drop what you’re doing right now There’s chaos ensuing in town Better run to the store Pick up milk and bread Don’t get stuck without them Or you may end up dead Schools will shut down, businesses too Kids stuck at home with nothing to do Don’t go outside, there’s a half inch of snow No one can function, there’s nowhere to go The Storm of the South, is headed this way There’s a big storm that’s headed this way Tell your kids to go out and play No we aint gonna do no work today There’s a big storm headed our way Road crews are spreading that salt Traffic has come to a halt Weathermen can’t get enough No one will call their bluff Better run to the store And pick up a sled Gotta keep those kids happy And not filled with dread Schools will shut down, businesses too Kids stuck at home with nothing to do Don’t go outside, there’s a half inch of snow No one can function, there’s nowhere to go The Storm of the South, is headed this way There’s a big storm that’s headed this way Tell your kids to go out and play No we aint gonna do no work today There’s a big storm headed our way The big storm has come and gone There’s a couple white flakes on my lawn The kids are driving me mad I think they’ve worn out my iPad Better run to the store And take this sled back The storm has moved on We survived the attack Schools will shut down, businesses too Kids stuck at home with nothing to do Don’t go outside, there’s a half inch of snow No one can function, there’s nowhere to go The Storm of the South, is headed this way There’s a big storm that’s headed this way Tell your kids to go out and play No we aint gonna do no work today There’s a big storm headed our way

Three Blind Mice 02:42

There were three blind mice, or so the story goes I was chillin’ one day on a stack of hay and now my story is told The first blind mouse looked sad as he could be I said what’s wrong with you little guy then he told his story to me He said I don’t have a tail, and I’m blind as you can see The farmer’s wife she done took a knife and cut my tail off me The second blind mouse was fuming out the top I said what’s the source of all your anger, and then he started to talk He didn’t think twice about the cause of his condition The evil one who would do such harm was standing in the kitchen He said I don’t have a tail, and I’m blind as you can see The farmer’s wife she done took a knife and cut my tail off me The third blind mouse possessed an evil grin I said hey man do you have a plan cuz it looks like you’re fixin’ to sin He said I’ve got a plan, we’re gonna get revenge We’re gonna chase that wife with our own damn knife until this story ends He said I don’t have a tail, and I’m blind as you can see The farmer’s wife she done took a knife and cut my tail off me There were three blind mice, or so the story goes Now I’ve been through it, aint much else to it so I guess my story’s been told

Take A Drink 03:35
lyrics

I take a drink to remember, I take a drink to forget I take a drink for the good times that haven’t happened yet I take a drink for the fun I’ve had with all the friends I’ve met I take a drink for all the drinks I’ve had, and a drink for my regret It’s early Friday morning, I get to work on time I drank last night and the night before, I guess I’ll drink tonight The hardest time of my life, is doing eight to five There’s one sure way to end my day, and to make me feel alive I take a drink to remember, I take a drink to forget I take a drink for the good times that haven’t happened yet I take a drink for the fun I’ve had with all the friends I’ve met I take a drink for all the drinks I’ve had, and a drink for my regret Some like meth and some like pills and some just smoke that weed What’s right for them aint right for me, it just aint what I need So while they’re bouncing off the walls, or laid back on their couch I’ll pop that top and turn it up, to liquefy my doubts I take a drink to remember, I take a drink to forget I take a drink for the good times that haven’t happened yet I take a drink for the fun I’ve had with all the friends I’ve met I take a drink for all the drinks I’ve had, and a drink for my regret I’ve held down many bar stools, been forced through many doors I’ve been face up and I’ve been face down on a thousand hardwood floors I’ve forgotten many good times, but remembered many more It’s fine if you don’t like my ways, just maybe I don’t like yours I take a drink to remember, I take a drink to forget I take a drink for the good times that haven’t happened yet I take a drink for the fun I’ve had with all the friends I’ve met I take a drink for all the drinks I’ve had, and a drink for my regret I take a drink for all the drinks I’ve had, and a drink for my regret

Don't know her name or if she's a girl He's got a mullet on her that will make your toes curl She's got a mustache and a nice set of tits In the men's or women's bathroom he stands or she sits Who the hell knows What could it be You say he, I say she Could be a he-she Tits and a wee-wee What could it be Working at the Goodwill, sporting that blue vest Popping her gum and looking his best Hair on her knuckles but his nails are painted I got a glimpse of her chest hair and damned near fainted Who the hell knows What could it be You say he, I say she Could be a he-she Tits and a wee-wee What could it be He-she I love you, what you are I don't care You're the girl-boy of my dreams We will make them stop and start You cook me breakfast, I'll shave your back You have all the features, there is nothing that you lack Who the hell knows What could it be You say he, I say she Could be a he-she Tits and a wee-wee What could it be

You can pick up a hoe on the way to work in G-Town You can pick up some crack on the way to church in G-Town Backwards ways in a modern time Our number one business is our crime in G-Town Doing the crime and doing the time Ain't the only way you're gonna waste your life in G-Town No matter where you live, no matter where you go You'll meet a killer and that's for sure in G-Town Big ass rims on junk-ass cars Latino clubs and redneck bars in G-Town Backwards ways in a modern time Our number one business is our crime in G-Town Doing the crime and doing the time Ain't the only way you're gonna waste your life in G-Town Everyone's got pills everyone smokes grass in G-Town Tight little jeans on a big ole ass in G-Town Backwards ways in a modern time Our number one business is our crime in G-Town Doing the crime and doing the time Ain't the only way you're gonna waste your life in G-Town
