Death Trip

I don't know but I've been told

Streets of heaven is paved with gold

Jefferson County's China clipper callin' in

That'll be a San Antonio check on my bread ball is Jefferson County

Special effects

Well it's a death trip tryna follow someone else's dream

When the world that you know goes splitting at the seams

I love my little baby like I love my old machine

She left me for a feller that she hardly ever seen

I'm on a death trip baby

I'm on a death trip

Well my world tumbled down when the leaves began to fall

She took out all her dresses and her picture in the hall

I found her car standing running at the shopping mall

And the phone never rings and I'ma staring at the wall

I'm on a death trip baby

I'm on a death trip

I'm on a death trip baby

Death trip

Well the teacher and the preacher said my world was burning down

My daddy said he didn't want to see my face around

The police pulled me over on the other side of town

Said the lawyers and the deacon said I sold it by the pound

I'm on a death trip baby

I'm on a death trip

I'm on a death trip baby

Death trip

Well my old man told me that I better pack up all my things

And find a place to live if I had a half a brain

He left me selling papers standing freezing in the rain

And I thank Jesus everyday I won't grow up again

I'm on a death trip baby

I'm on a death trip

I'm on a death trip baby

Death trip

Well I finally found a woman that could ease my troubled mind

I hug her in the morning and kiss her all the time

When I come home from working you can see my baby shine

And the boss man he tries to keep me working overtime

The sun shines down on our faces all the time

When her car won't start well I let her drive in mine
