Doll Face Lyrics - The Excitement Plan - Todd Snider

I come from not far from here 

A long time ago 

Spent years on that mountain 

Before they even built this town below 

Had a place on the ridge 

With a view for miles around 

Until the day those men came up 

And dragged me into town 

A shame what they did to me 

It's a crying shame 

It was a shame the way they treated me 

Back in town they beat me down so bad 

That I passed into something else 

And when I woke I looked 

I couldn't even recognize myself 

I was a completely covered in useless information 

Anyone looking could see 

In the back of a truck with a rubber band 

Stuck around what was left of me 

The next thing I know im thrown in a yard 

Where I wait a while and then 

This old man walks out in a bathrobe 

Picks me up and walks me back in 

And he freed me from that rubber band alright 

But in what seemed like a flash 

He glanced me once and then 

He threw me into the trash 

That's how I ended up 

On this land fill here lying around 

Waiting for this big old pile of garbage were on 

To work its way back under ground 

Where I hope to grow up tall again 

Maybe right here on this very spot 

Might seem like a pipe dream to you 

But doll face its all I got 

You see man seems to think the world was made for him 

And that might be true 

But there's is a crack in every side walk 

Where the grass breaks through 

You know what I'm saying baby 

Stick with me 

Someday you may have it made in the shade of a tree 

Someday you may have it made in the shade of a tree
