Lyrics

Put a dead cat on the railroad tracks When the wolf bains blooming by the tressel Get the eyeball of a rooster, stones from a ditch Wash 'em down with bilge water Say you'll never snitch Take the buttons from a yellow jacket Feather from a buzzard Blood from the bounty hunters, cold black heart Catch the tears of a widow in a thimble made of glass Tell your mama and your papa They can kiss your ass Poison all the water in the wishin' well Hang all them scarecrows from a sycamore tree And burn down them honeymoons and put 'em in a pillow case Wait next to the switch blades at the amusement park for me Strangle all the Christmas carols, scratch out all you prayers Tie 'em up with barbed wire, push them down the stairs I'll whittle you a pistol Keepin' nightmares off your blinds Them sons of bitches always seem to sneak up from behind Syphon all the gas from your daddy's pickup truck Fill up Jonny's T-Bird, I got a couple bucks Put on little perfume and ribbon in your hair Be careful that you don't wake up the hounds Tear a bolt of lightning from the side of the sky Throw her in the cedar chest If you want me, I'll tell you why Bring the gear shift knob from a 49 mere Lie down here beside me, let me hold you in the dirt You're gonna tremble Tear the throat out of the night Sink your teeth into my shoulder Dig your nails into my back Tell that little girl to let go of my sleeve You'll be a woman when I catch you Come baby, fall in love with me With my double barrel shotgun A whole box of shells We'll celebrate the 4th of July We'll do a hounfred miles an hour spendin' someone elses dough Drive all the way to Reno on the wrong side of the road Wrong side of the road On the wrong side of the road Wrong side of the road Wrong side of the road Wrong side of the road
