Then I went far away, and you found someone new.  
I read your letter, dear, and I wrote back to you:

Roses are red, my love  
Violets are blue  
Sugar is sweet, my love  
Good luck. May God bless you.

No we don’t fit in with that white collar crowd -  
We’re a little too rowdy and a little too loud.  
There’s no place that I’d rather be than right here  
With my rednecks, white socks, and blue ribbon beer

Are you high tonight? Are you feeling right?  
Cos I need you now like I never did before  
Is it hard enough? Is it loud enough?  
Cos if you don’t approve, you can use the door

Armed and ready  
I gotta gun sight trained on you

Slowly walking down the hall  
Faster than a cannon ball  
Where were you while we were getting high?

Some day you will find me  
Caught beneath the landslide  
In a champagne supernova in the sky

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat.  
They’re ridin’ hard to catch that herd but they ain’t caught 'em yet.  
'Cause they got to ride forever on that range up in the sky  
On horses snorting fire. As they ride on hear their cry.

Rain and wind and weather  
Hell bent for leather  
Wishin’ my gal was by my side  
All the things I’m missin’  
Good vittles, love and kissin’  
Are waiting at the end of my ride

Move ‘em on  
(Head em’ up!)  
Rawhide!

Wheels! A glint of steel and a flash of light!  
Screams! From a streak of fire as he strikes!  
Hell bent, hell bent for leather  
Hell bent, hell bent for leather

Wanting… the saddest kind of pain  
Waiting… to be disciplined  
Aching… for your nails across my skin  
Waiting… for the day when I will crawl away

It’s the song of a merry man moping mum  
Whose soul was sad and his glance was glum,  
Who sipped no sup and who craved no crumb  
As he sighed for the love of a lady.

Glitter on the mattress  
Glitter on the highway

Glitter on the hallway

The Love Shack is a little old place where  
We can get together

To that sugar shack, whoa baby

To that sugar shack, whoa yes  
To that sugar shack.

I know how you want it child, hot quick and tight

I want to kick 'em out

Take it easy (take it easy)  
Better slow down girl  
That’s no way to go  
Does your mother know?  
Take it easy (take it easy)  
Try to cool it girl  
Take it nice and slow  
Does your mother know?
