Badger |
| It was late in the summer when the corn was fully grown |
| We’d gone for a swim in the pond on my uncle Henry’s farm |
| And when we got home we saw a badger in the yard |
| Running flat out for a hole beneath the shed |
| It disappeared into its den underneath the floor |
| And it was gone and Dad just said «Goddamn |
| Badger can’t stay he’ll kill you just like that |
| Mean as any grizzly, sneaky as any cat» |
| And he went and got his gun from the closet in the hall |
| And pulled a 6-pack from the fridge and walked on out the door |
| While Mom made us brush our teeth and get ourselves to bed |
| «it's late and he’ll be awhile» was all that she would say |
| And I saw him in the twilight his .410 across his lap |
| Sitting in a lawn chair, staring at the shed |
| A fallen soldier from the 6-pack laying at his feet |
| And sometime in the night a gunshot woke me from my sleep |
| It was late in the summer when the corn was fully grown |
| We’d gone for a swim in the pond on my uncle Henry’s farm |
