Merrittville |
Matthew with the pug nose |
Caught me with his sister in the wheatfield |
Got a couple buddies |
Tied me up and threw me in his Oldsmobile |
I said «Matthew are you crazy?» |
As he started closing in for the kill |
Matthew slowed the Olds to 10 |
Left me here to die in Merrittville |
There’s a game they play in the summertime |
There’s a game they play when it’s hot outside |
And I wonder why |
They left me here in Merrittville |
Sally with the narrow hips |
Cut the rope and said that she could clear my head |
She led me to the dirt path |
All the way back to her daddy’s shed |
I said, «Sally who’d believe |
That we’d have to come so far for a thrill.» |
Sally let me go that night |
Weak, tired and spent in Merrittville |
William with the holy book |
Stopped me as I stumbled down the road today |
He said «Get on your knees, boy |
It’s time you learned the right way to pray» |
I said «William, I had no idea |
That the lord had such a will |
William drove his point across |
And left me here to burn in Merrittville |
