james mcmurtry - lobo town lyrics
grand daddy’s good name
fits like a shackle and a chain
and all them others, long dead
still hanging ’round my head
hard working kind of men
there’s not a one left of them
there’s only me, there’s only mine
and i guess we’re all the other kind
throwin’ dice and dippin’ snuff
out in a trailer back in the brush
sippin’ crown and smokin’ weed
huntin’ hogs and cookin’ speed
that’s how we do it nowadays
no matter what the teachers used to say
p-ss judgment if you dare
see if any of us care
you’re godd-mn right, you got no clue
so don’t tell me i’m dying
that old black dog has got me down
and i can’t get loose from lobo town
post mistress is telling tales
while all the blue hairs come get their mail
wonderin’ why a boy like me
gets into trouble, well let me see
they might be kinder if i were poor
but they might only hate me more
when they only know you by your car
it’s who you come from not who you are
two hundred channels on a big tv
won’t fill the holes inside of me
i’m getting twisted, i’m getting sick
i need some help and i need it quick
’cause i can feel the curtain fall
when won’t no one return my calls
i used ’em hard and i used ’em up
i never will amount to much
you’re godd-mn right, you got no clue
so don’t tell me i’m dying
that old black dog has got me down
and i can’t get loose from lobo town
i’ll take the house and the land
i’m gonna list it, get what i can
sell the horses, sell the cows
sell ’em all, sell ’em now
