I’m in love with my car, gotta feel for my automobile
Get a grip on my boy racer roll bar
Such a thrill when your radials squeal
I love my dog as much as I love you
But you may fade, my dog will always come through
All he asks from me is the food to give him strength
All he ever needs is love and that he knows he’ll get
So, I love my dog as much as I love you
But you may fade, my dog will always come through
“Old dogs care about you even when you make mistakes;
God bless little children while they’re still too young to hate.”
When he moved away I found my pen and copied down that line
'Bout old dogs and children and watermelon wine.
What gentler eye, what nobler heart
Can warm the winter day
Than the true blue eye and the oaken core
Of beloved old dog Tray?
You’ve brought your love to me
(I’ll call you mine)
You’ll never look away
Or ever me say
(I’ll call you mine)
'Cause you’re mine
I knew I could be whole
If you were mine
I’ll vanquish any foe
Because you’re mine…
The army of the enemy is stationed on the hill
So we’ve got to bring them down here, where they’re easier to kill
Our men in the ravine (That’s this area in green)
Will move across the valley where you plainly can be seen
Then the enemy (in blue) will undoubtedly pursue
And will hope to keep your losses to comparatively few
Don’t be mad at me
'Cause you’re pushing thirty
And your old tricks no longer work
You should have known from the jump
That you always get dumped
So dust off your fuck me pumps
And like my Brother above me
Who took a rebel stand
He was just eighteen, proud and brave
But a Yankee laid him in his grave
I swear by the mud below my feet
You can’t raise a Caine back up
When he’s in defeat…
It is not clear why we choose the fire pathway
Where we end is not the way that we had planned
All the spirits gather 'round like it’s our last day
To get across you know we’ll have to raise the sand
Here come the girls up the road
What they want to do they can’t do
Here come the girls up the road
What they want to do they can’t do
She said, “Here’s your one chance, Fancy, don’t let me down!
Here’s your one chance, Fancy, don’t let me down.
Lord forgive me for what I do,
but if you want out girl it’s up to you.
Now get on out, you better start sleepin’ uptown.”
Uptown girl
She’s been living in her uptown world
I bet she never had a back street guy
I bet her mama never told her why
I’m gonna try for an uptown girl
She’s been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she’s looking for a downtown man
That’s what I am
I loved a girl in Saginaw, Michigan
The daughter of a wealthy, wealthy man
But he called me ‘that son of a Saginaw fisherman’
And not good enough to claim his daughter’s hand
Cathy, I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
Michigan seems like a dream to me now
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
I’ve gone to look for America
(There’s a pawnshop on a corner in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania)
And I’ve just gotta get five or ten (five or ten)
(From the pawnshop on a corner in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania)
Gotta be with my angel again
You leave the Pennsylvania station 'bout a quarter to four,
Read a magazine and then you’re in Baltimore,
Dinner in the diner, nothing could be finer,
Than to have your ham ‘n’ eggs in Carolina.
When you hear the whistle blowin’ eight to the bar,
Then you know that Tennessee is not very far,
Shovel all the coal in, gotta keep it rollin’,
Woo, woo, Chattanooga, there you are.
You date a girl and find out later
She smells just like a percolator
Her perfume was made right on the grill
Why they could percolate the ocean in Brazil
And when their ham and eggs need savor
Coffee ketchup gives 'em flavor
Coffee pickles way outsell the dill
Why they put coffee in the coffee in Brazil
Brazil, where hearts were entertaining june
We stood beneath an amber moon
And softly murmured “someday soon”
We kissed and clung together
