Drag the lake, Charlie. Charlie, drag the lake. Lester didn't come home last night. And Wanda's all irate. Better keep your fingers crossed. And hope we find him drowned.
I can't blame you but it's a shame. You can't cover your ass sometimes.. It's that kind of town and you're so far down you can't get up.. I can't tell you what to sell and how to tow the line.
My Daddy called me on a Friday morning, so sad to tell me just what you'd done. You tried so hard to make us all hate you but in the end you was the only one.
It's Decoration Day.. And I've a mind to roll a stone on his grave.. But what would he say.. Keeping me down, boy, won't keep me away.. . It's Decoration Day..
[Chorus]. Demonic Possession. His court's in session. I sign my confession. Demonic Possession. . It was raining on the day she told me. Them things that fella sold me.
When I was a young boy, I sniffed a lot of glue. Mom sent me to rehab, they told me what to do. We didn't have much money, the Lord picked up the tab.
She's got me tied in a knot. That's what I thought she'd do.. Don't ask me what's on my mind. I'm fine. I'll push on through.. Not much to see on this angry street, so I'll sleep the day away..
Bobby went out for a joy ride with my best girl. Left me at the party,. He was my best friend and I miss him.. It was almost June and the moon illuminated the rain-soaked streets like a candy wrapper..
Let the night air cool you off.. Tilt your head back and try to cough.. Don't say nothing 'bout the things you never saw.. Let the night air cool you off..
Before I could walk, I had a wrench in my hand. I was my Mama's little angel and my Daddy's second chance. He went end over end the first year he went pro.
Ricky Boy, Ricky Boy, You got somethin' left to deal with. What you gonna do about merchandise?. Ricky Boy, You got the money, you got somethin' left to do.
Daddy's gone away and no one can tell me why. Mama's been so sad. Since Daddy learned to fly. Everybody brought food. And everybody cried. Nothing's been too good.
Daddy needs a drink to deal with all the beauty. To deal with all the madness to keep from blowing up. Daddy needs a drink to calm down the badness. To execute his gladness on the fullness of his cup.
I came to tell my story to all these young and eager minds. To look in their unspoiled faces and their curious bright eyes. Stories of corruption, crime and killing, yes it's true.
I came to tell my story to all these young and eager minds. To look in their unspoiled faces and their curious bright eyes. Stories of corruption, crime and killing, yes it's true.
A bloody nose, empty pockets, a rented car with a trunk full of guns. It ain't true that the sun don't rise in Vegas,. I've seen it once. She might have been somebody's mama.
Can my brother sit in? Can my brother sit in?. Well, there's a hole in the band. And as a favor to Cassie. We'll let her brother come and jam. . If he ain't no good.
Life ain't nothing but a blending up of all the ups and downs. Dammit Elvis, don't you know. You made your Mama so proud. Before you ever made that record, before there ever was a Sun.
I'm not good with numbers. I just count on knowing when I'm high enough. A mule with only two legs counting steps. Toward dangling carrots don't add up.
Tired of living in Buttholeville. Tired of my job and my wife Lucille. Tired of my kids Ronnie and Neil. Tired of my 68 Bonneville. Working down at Billy Bob's Bar and Grille.
