The Driskill

FIVE KIDS IN A MOBILE HOME AND A DADDY ALL HE DOES IS ROAM

WORKS AT THE DINER GOT BILLS TO PAY SHE SEES THE SUN RISE EVERYDAY

WHITE ROCKS IN HER FRONT YARD SHOT GUN ALWAYS ON GAURD

SHES GOTTA NEIGHBOR TO DEPEND ON HE LOST HIS LEG BACK IN VIETNAM

SHE’S GOTTA PAST THATS CREEPIN’ ROUND SNIFFIN’ ROUND LIKE A BLOOD HOUND

DIG THOSE BONES UP IN THE YARD DEALT A LIFE THATS SHORT A CARD

MY MAMA TOLD ME YOU GOTTA LEARN FROM THE WAYS

THE PRICES THAT IVE PAID AND TRAVELS THAT I’VE MADE

COME ON (MAMMA SAID YOU GOTTA MAKE IT) COME ON (PAPA SAID YOU GOTTA TAKE IT)

I LEARNED FROM YOUR DADDY RIGHT BEFORE HE WENT UNDER

GOTTA CHASE THAT LIGHTNING AVOID THAT THUNDER

COME ON (MAMMA SAID YOU GOTTA MAKE IT) COME ON (PAPA SAID YOU GOTTA TAKE IT)

HER HEADS ON A SWIVEL NOW DRESSED UP REAL HIGH BROW

SHE’S DRUNK WAY BEFORE IT HITS FIVE HIDES A PISTOL IN HER BEHIVE

AT THE DRISKILL LOBBY BAR SINGIN’ SONGS WITH HER GUITAR

SHE KEEPS ONE EYE ON HER HAND AND THE OTHER ON EVERY MAN

MY MAMA TOLD ME YOU GOTTA LEARN FROM THE WAYS

THE PRICES THAT IVE PAID AND TRAVELS THAT I’VE MADE

COME ON (MAMMA SAID YOU GOTTA MAKE IT) COME ON (PAPA SAID YOU GOTTA TAKE IT)

I LEARNED FROM YOUR DADDY RIGHT BEFORE HE WENT UNDER

GOTTA CHASE THAT LIGHTNING AVOID THAT THUNDER

COME ON (MAMMA SAID YOU GOTTA MAKE IT) COME ON (PAPA SAID YOU GOTTA TAKE IT)

FINDS HER MARK AND MAKES HER MOVE PULLS HER PISTOL OUT AND DRINKS SOME BOOZE

TAKES HIM FOR EVERYTHING HE HAS BILLS ARE PAID NOT FEELIN’ BAD
