lyrics

Grease on the wheel, blood on my thumb.
Replace the bearings and rotate the drum.
Sweat in my eye, burn on my shoulder.
The days get longer and I keep getting older.

Mud caked boots, trout on a line.
Chewin’ black tobacco, drinkin’ Woodbridge wine.
Take off your clothes, jump in a creek.
Cut your toe on a bottle catch a crow by its beak.

I found my baby hanging from a telephone pole.
If I ever get her down I swear I’ll never let her go
Lockjaw tetanus, rabid hounds.
In the Carolina heat She’s gonna show me what she found.

Flat wound strings on a broken guitar.
I keep a 12 gauge shotgun on the front seat of my car.
I shoot cats of the fence in my neighbor’s back yard.
My pistol barrel’s smokin’ and my fingers are charred.

Corn fed Mexican, cotton field.
Grits in a bowl is my favorite meal
Cotton gin, roof tin, tractor pull.
I keep my sideburns slick with the spit of a bull.

Brylcream, collard green, widow’s peak.
I keep my toothpick soaked in gasoline.
Castor oil, tin foil, hair on my back.
I keep my woman satisfied in my Cadillac.

In my Cadillac…
