It's not my fault
I told her if she ever cheated
I'd kill the sumbitch as soon as I caught up with him.
Goddamn I should have weighed him down
Because the motherfuckers floating back up to the top again.
She was a sweet smiling devil
With dimples in her cheeks
And eyes that stared straight through your soul.
A dark haired beauty
Damn she'd shake her booty
Everytime she'd walk across the floor.
I thought I smelled something
When she brought home a junkie
But there's rules even junkies ought to know.
If I'd had seen it coming I'd have sent the boy running
The day he walked through our door.
It's not my fault
I told her if she ever cheated
I'd kill the sumbitch as soon as I caught up with him.
Goddamn I should have weighed him down because the motherfukers floating back up to the top again.
She was a smooth takin lady
Rhe things that she would say to me
Hot damn she had be beggin for more.
The way she called me baby
Made eveything go crazy
That's when I lost all control.
Turned me into the one thing
I knew I never wanted to be again.
It may sound crazy
But this evil little lady
Got me itchin to take the life of another man.
It's not my fault
I told her if she ever cheated I'd kill the sumbitch as soon as I caught up with him.
Goddamn I should have weighed him down because the motherfuckers floating back up to the top again.
Back up to the top again.
I said the motherfuckers floating back up to the top again

Dear God
Forgive me
I know not what I've done.
I took him out back
Gave him a shave with a skatter gun.
I think hard and hang high.
Till the day they cut me down.
I don't move
I just wait
Hanging on to every sound I hear.
I thought this was
The end of
My life long losing streak.
Well I just trip.
I don't tweak.
And I don't listen to the
Junkie jive dope speak.
I just trip.
I don't tweak.
And I don't listen to the
Junkie jive dope speak.
Whoa whoa
Hangman's noose ain't gonna set me free.
So I'll swing.
Whoa whoa
Devil says, "Boy you ain't gonna work for me"
So I'll swing.
Whoa whoa
Now I know what Abandon meant
So I'll swing
Whoa whoa
This is not
How I thought
That it would end for me.
I'm hanging high
On the rope
Under the holler tree.
Least the river runs
under my dangling feet.
But I thought this was
The end of
My life long losing streak.
Whoa whoa
Hangman's noose ain't gonna set me free.
So I'll swing.
Whoa whoa
Devil says, "Boy you ain't gonna work for me"
So I'll swing.
Whoa whoa
Now I know what abandon meant
So I'll swing
Whoa whoa
Whoa whoa
Hangman's noose ain't gonna set me free.
So I'll swing.
Whoa whoa
Devil says, "Boy you ain't gonna work for me"
So I'll swing.
Whoa whoa
Now I know what abandon meant
So I'll swing
Whoa whoa

Life of being an evil man has got me on the run.
Wonder if I could be forgave for the things that I have done.
If I quit moving baby I think I will surely die
Or end up back in jail again
For god only knows why.
He was there when I learned how to drive and when I learned to shoot.
He's seen me crush a human skull with the heel of my boot.
He's seen me at my lowest point he's seen me riding high.
The pavement knows me by my name.
We're old friends he and I.
Well baby I can't get away from what I did.
I can't even hear you talk over voices in my head.
Now I hope one day that I can find that little girl I left behind
But the bounty on me says
alive or dead.
I spent some time in Tennessee it's not where I wanna stay.
Yeah California's nice and warm but I'll avoid LA.
I just thought I'd tell my story
Before I leave you on the side of
A Texas red dirt road.
I wish that you could ride. I really miss a gentle touch.
But I've been rambling on and on. I think I've said too much.
You see this crank has got me saying things that ought not to be said.
So I can let you walk on home
or leave you in a culvert dead.
But baby I can't get away from what I did.
I can't even hear you talking over voices in my head.
Now I hope one day that I can find that little girl I left behind
But the bounty on me says
alive or dead.
But baby I can't get away from what I did.
I can't even hear you talking over voices in my head.
Now I hope one day that I can find that little girl I left behind
But the bounty on me says
alive or dead.
The bounty on me says
alive or dead.

The Dogs

He's been pondering all night long.
Whether all is right or all is wrong.
He starts to tighten his legs and fists
Nothing he's ever felt compares to this.
Cody's been up for way to long.
Been doing speed with a taste of heroin.
LSD by the sheet
Embalming fluid raw.
He was mauled by the dogs he thought he saw.
Bassett hounds at six foot three.
Zombie Retrievers, mutant Peakiness.
They start to chew on his legs and arms.
But he lays all alone come to no harm
Because...
Cody's been up for way to long.
Been doing speed with a taste of heroin.
LSD by the sheet
Embalming fluid raw.
He was mauled by the dogs he thought he saw.
Cody's been up for way to long.

Here's to the Devil

I am not sure how to classify this & it really doesn't matter... :) This album is superb & filled with incredibly playful melodies & wicked humour - especially in the lyrics. The humour in the lyrics reminds me a little of a modern day Tom Lehrer even if the music is totally different but it is the playing with words & having a ton of fun while doing it that does it :) Thank you so much to tesla_666 for taking me here! I love it & highly recommend it!!!
