Terrible Thing |
The parking lot is rammed with shotgun pickup trucks |
At the Jones Rubber plant where all the guys end up |
Beer-drinking boy scouts living life like they ain’t stuck |
On these quicksand streets with their girls in a sling |
I’m in my bedroom on the verge of a terrible thing |
Around here, we all take up our cross and hang on His holy name, |
But the cards that I was dealt will get you thrown out of the game |
Hey momma, can’t you see your boy is wrapped up in the strangle silk |
Of this cobweb town where culture is king? |
I’m in my bedroom on the verge of a terrible thing |
I close my eyes and think of the water |
Out at the Salt Creek when I was young |
Down at Old Mill Park, half the town’s in tow |
To crown the Bathing Beauty of the rodeo |
While her mother fights back proud tears a young cowboy gives the nod |
The chute opens, bull draws blood, and the gift is accepted by God |
The chute opens, bull draws blood, and the gift is accepted by God |
In this barbed wire town of barbed wire dreams |
I’m in my bedroom on the verge of a terrible thing |
I close my eyes and think of the water |
Out at the Salt Creek when I was young |
I close my eyes and think of the water |
Out at the Salt Creek when I was young |
