    Sold Out

lyrics

Daddy used to catch his supper in this river, now you can’t swim it
Smells like a 20-ton truck full of paint thinner sank down in it Come visit a spell, see the plaque to our war fallen
Nothin’ but a good time.

Some guy in Bombay’s runnin’ that press I used to hate
Now I sling hash for what-all spills off the interstate
We sold the family store, left the building standing
You can see the outline

Where I fell Might look like hell From a jet airplane or the top of some big hotel I’d’ve chose a place more fine But the choice was never mine So I dwell Where I fell.

Skinny-hipped Jane with her long black lashes and a kid of ten Comes by for some TV and to leg it down with me every now and then
She’s a good ole girl I shoulda long sent walkin’
The timing never worked right.

And it’s the same sad crew at Delilah’s shoutin’ over the redneck band
Game score, tea party, world war, I don’t give a good goddamn That’s me crossing the courthouse lawn about midnight
Trippin’ on the curbside.
