Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don't get any on ya if you go to Nashville
Don't operate machinery if you open a drill
You gotta have some faith if you're in a lion's den
And everybody turns a bad trick now and then
[Verse 2]
Club soda don't always remove ketchup stains
Ain't nothin' you can take is gonna cure a migraine
Broken dreams is a premise in "Of Mice and Men"
And everybody turns a bad trick now and then
[Verse 3]
You've got have some scars if you want to be a poet
To get weeds out of a garden, you got to hoe it
Possession with intent will get you 5 to 10
And everybody turns a bad trick now and then
And everybody turns a bad trick now and then
[Verse 4]
Most gamblers know that they'll never break even
There's five stages to go through when you're craven
The sword is always bloodier than the pen
And everybody turns a bad trick now and then
[Verse 5]
You've got have some scars if you want to be a poet
To get weeds out of a garden, you got to hoe it
Possession with intent will get you 5 to 10
And everybody turns a bad trick now and then
And everybody turns a bad trick now and then
[Verse 6]
Dancing is promiscuous after midnight
It's best to be content than to have to always be right
You can't fix a broken heart with a bobby pin
And everybody turns a bad trick now and then
[Verse 7]
You've got to have some scars if you want to be a poet
To get weeds out of a garden, you got to hoe it
Possession with intent will get you 5 to 10
And everybody turns a bad trick now and then
And everybody turns a bad trick now and then
