Trouble's Braids |
| Well I pulled on trouble’s braids |
| and I hid in the briars |
| out by the quick mud |
| stayin’away from the main roads |
| passin’out wolf tickets |
| downwind from the blood hounds |
| and I pulled on trouble’s braids |
| and I lay by a cypress |
| as quiet as a stone |
| 'til the bleeding stopped |
| I blew the weather vane |
| off some old road house |
| I build a fire in the |
| skeleton back seat of an old Tucker |
| and I pulled on trouble’s braids |
| I spanked cold red mud |
| where the hornet stung deep |
| and I tossed in the ditch |
| in a restless sleep |
| and I pulled on trouble’s braids |
| I hung my rain-soaked jacket |
| on some old barbed wire |
| poured cold rusty water |
| on a miserable fire |
| I pulled on trouble’s braids |
| the creek was swollen by daybreak and I could just |
| barely see |
| and I floated downstream |
| on an old dead tree |
| and I pulled on trouble’s braids |
| I pulled on trouble’s braids |
| I pulled on trouble’s braids |
| I pulled on trouble’s braids |
