Flatland Hillbillies |
We’re flatland hillbillies, Irish Cajun Creole mix |
My brothers on an off shore rig, my sister’s on the pole at slicks |
Mama takes in peoples washing, she was widowed by a pipeline man |
We’re flatland hillbillies, getting by on what we can |
We’re river rats and john boat shrimpers, trouble in our DNA |
It wouldn’t be the same Port Arthur if we got up and moved away |
God forbid we hit the lotto, chances are we’d wind up shot |
We’re flatland hillbillies, getting by on what we’ve got |
Flatland hillbillies heathen to the marrowbone |
Working on your cars and drinking in your bars |
And running every red-light home |
If you’ve never ran a trot line, never skinned an eight point buck |
Never had a squirrel-meat sandwich, then I guess you’re just out of luck |
Living on the edge of nowhere, isn’t for the feint of heart |
We’re flatland hillbillies, waiting on the fire to start |
Flatland hillbillies, another other breed apart |
