Doggonit (Original recording)

My head's been hurtin', my back's been achin'

The water's dryin' up, there's a war in the makin'

People eatin' bugs 'cause they won't eat bacon

Doggonit

There's needles in the streets, folks hardly survivin'

Sidewalks next to highways full of cars self-drivin'

The poor keep hurtin', the rich keep thrivin'

Doggonit

There's a little town somewhere

The only thing you hear at night is that old mill hummin'

Only time traffic backs up

Is when that old, sweet Norfolk Southern train's runnin'

With me and a doggonit

Just me and a doggonit

And people's cryin' 'bout burnin' coal

But not the poor souls who's diggin' it

I reckon there's been a many good man in the grave

Tryin' to keep our houses lit

Down in the oilfields, the pipelines

The linemen and the coal mines

So we can sit at home and plug in our newfangled bullshit

And republicans and democrats

I swear, they're all just full of crap

I ain't never seen a good city-slickin' bureaucrat

There's a little town somewhere

The only thing you hear at night is that old mill hummin'

Only time traffic backs up

Is when that old, sweet Norfolk Southern train's hummin'

With me and a doggonit

With me and a doggonit

My head's been hurtin', my back's been achin'

The water's dryin' up and there's a war in the makin'

People eatin' bugs 'cause they won't eat bacon

Doggonit
