Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, the green-eyed Cheshire Cat is smellin' up the joint
He hangs out in the alley and keeps the dogs annoyed
Sacrificial lamb is hangin' on the vine
Waitin' for salvation and some peace of mind
[Chorus]
And don't wait up for the shrimp boat, mama
Daddy won't be home 'til way past dawn
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Instrumental]
Well, the crows are in the backyard chewin' up the grass
You know it's hard to tell how long it's gonna last
We might make it to June and if we're lucky, July
Don't you get your signals crossed, you can kiss my ass goodbye
[Chorus]
Don't wait up for the shrimp boat, mama
Daddy won't be home 'til way past dawn
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
You know daddy spent a long time runnin' and he ain't done runnin' yet
Pretty soon now, he'll be comin' home, yeah, well what do you wanna bet?
Oh
[Instrumental]
Yeah, don't wait up for the shrimp boat, mama
Daddy won't be home 'til way past dawn
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
Don't wait up
Daddy ain't comin' home
Don't wait up
Don't wait up
Don't wait up
Don't wait up
