Wrong Side of the Road

Put a dead cat on the railroad tracks

When the wolf bains blooming by the tressel

And get the eyeball of a rooster and the stones from a ditch

And wash ’em down with bilge water and you say you’ll never snitch

Take the buttons from a yellow jacket – The feather from a buzzard

and the blood from a bounty hunters cold black heart

Catch the tears of a widow in a thimble made of glass

Tell your mama and papa, they can kick your ass

Poison all the water in the wishin well

and hang all them scarecrows from a sycamore tree

Burn down all those honeymoons, put em in a pillow case

And wait next to the switch blades at the amusement park for me

Strangle all the christmas carols – Scratch out all your prayers

Tie ’em up with barbed wire and push them down the stairs

And I’ll whittle you a pistol for keeping nightmares of the blinds

Those sunabitches always seem to sneake up from behind

Syphon all the gas from your daddys pickup truck

fill up johnnys t bird – I got a couple of bucks

Put a little perfume and ribbon in your hair

Careful that you don’t wake up the hounds

Tear a bolt of lightning of the side of the sky

and throw it in the cedar chest if you want to tell me why

Bring the gear shift knob from a 49 merc

and lay down here beside me let me hold you in the dirt

You’re gonna tremble as the flames tear the throat out of the night

sink your teeth into my shoulder, dig your nails into my back

Tell that little girl to let go of my sleeve

You’ll be a woman when i catch you – Come baby, fall in love with me

With my double barrel shotgun and a whole box of shells

we’ll celebrate the 4 of july

We’ll do 100 an hour – Spendin someone elses dough

Driving all the way to Reno on the wrong side of the road
