I Will Stand, Corrected

====================================================
I pledge-a-Lincoln to the flag
Shit me a bowl pack right out the bag
Went 14 ways that couldn't work
'Til I dressed those sins in a miniskirt
She don't even look like you
That don't even look like you
It don't even look like you
Chance chasin' dreams & Nickey Star
Put Mickey Earl in a mason jar
December the 4th was just a day
So close from being this far away
She don't even look like you
That don't even look like you
It don't even look like you
That don't even look like . . .
She'd whip me good if I did her right
Good lord, I swore it took 39
When I pinned Pee-Wee up to the cross
I broke my tooth on dental floss
She don't even look like you
That don't even look like you
It don't even look like you
She don't even look like . . .
You are now neglected
Things are not the same
But I will stand, corrected
You were not to blame
I pledge-a-Lincoln to the flag
Shit me a bowl pack right from the bag
Whip me good if I did her right
Good lord, I swore it took 39
She don't even look like you
That don't even look like you
It don't even look like you . . .

The Ballad of Coy Menser
03:17
|
|||
====================================================
Coy Menser--
He was a desperate little man
He snorted bath salts everyday
He ate a homeless guy's face off
Behind the Westville Pub
Might've seen Coy Menser
Gettin' away, po' boy!
Might've seen Coy Menser
Gettin' away . . .
Coy Menser--
He went up on the Westgate bridge
And there he thought he was free
He turned around and Van Duncan
Grabbed him by the arm
Saying, "Coybert, come & go with me, po' boy!"
"Coybert, come & go with me . . ."
"Coybert, come & go with me, po' boy!"
"Coybert, come & go with me . . ."
Coy Menser--
Had a mother and a father, too
He sent for them to come & go his bail
But there was not no bailout for a face-eatin' man
So they shoved Coy Menser back in jail, po' boy!
They shoved Coy Menser back in jail . . .
They shoved Coy Menser back in jail, po' boy!
They shoved Coy Menser back in jail . . .
Coy Menser--
He had a pretty little wife
The dresses she wore was blue
She'd come to the jailhouse with a loud shout
Saying, "Coybert, I've been true to you, po' boy!"
"Coybert, I've been true to you . . ."
"Coybert, I've been true to you, po' boy!"
"Coybert, I've been true to you . . ."
Coy Menser--
He stood up in his cell
With tears a-rollin' down his eye
"I've eaten the face off of many a po' boy,
And now I am ready to die, lord, lord!"
"And now I am ready to die . . ."
"And now I am ready to die, lord, lord!"
"Now I am ready to die . . ."
"I've been to the East,
And I've been to the West,"
"I've been this whole wide world around . . ."
"I've worked at Thai Basil,
And I've worked at UPS,"
"Now take me to my hangin' ground, lord, lord!"
"Now take me to my hangin' . . ."

Shelby
03:17
|
|||
====================================================
Waitin' on the line
Creepin' like a vine
Man alive!
That girl sent shivers
Up & down my spine
Hang it on the wall of
Some ol' hollow log
Oh, my time
I feel it comin'
Bet it won't be long
When she fell like fire
And she lit up like rain
And that breaks my heart
But she's feelin' 'bout the same
That's alright I'm alone
And I don't mind some time back home
No, I don't . . .
Well she went on back to Shelby
Guess that's where that girl belongs
Lie for an eye
Truth for a tooth
Lord, I've tried
To make things better
But it's just no use
Hangin' on the line
Creepin' like a vine
God forbid!
That ol' girl send shivers
Up & down my spine
When she fell like fire
And she lit up like rain
And that breaks my heart
But we're feelin' 'bout the same
That's alright I'm alone
And I don't mind some time back home
No, I don't . . .
Well she went on down to Shelby
Guess that's where that girl belongs
Well she went on back to Shelby
Guess that's where that girl belongs

Have an Excuse
03:55
|
|||
===================================================
When the lights out
And the day is done
I often look back
At what I have done
And what I see there
Gets me more confused
I wonder if there's
Anything I can use
I wanna know
If I'll be sure
When the man
Shows up at my door
And when he gets there
What will he say?
I wonder if there
Will be anything left to say
And when will I
Get what I deserve;
A reward
That'll strike a nerve?
And when will anything
Be worth it's truth?
And why does everything
Have to
Have an excuse?
It's not a question
About what is real--
I'm not Gud Wilson
Or Captain DEAL.
With fame & fortune
I get to flirt
I wonder if then
You'll feel my hurt
And when will I
Get what I deserve;
A revelation
That'll strike a nerve?
And when will anything
Be worth it's truth?
And why does everything
Have to
Have an excuse?
Tell your excuses to me . . .
To me . . .
To me . . .
To me . . .

Flighty Gal
02:44
|
|||
===================================================
Ol' Mia, now
She's a flighty gal
Mia Brown was a tease!
That Mia, now
Was a flighty gal;
Made a fool out of me
Took me in for the night
Locked me out for the day
What would give you the right?
At least I get to say . . .
I caught a glimpse of a flighty gal
To see . . .
Whether or not those flighty gals
Have wings . . .
Mia was my flighty gal
And she . . .
Flew away from . . .
Mia, now
She's a flighty gal
Mia Brown was a tease!
That Mia, now
She's a flighty gal;
Made a fool out of me
Took me out for the night
Locked me in for the day
What would give you the right?
At least I got to say . . .
I caught a glimpse of a flighty gal
To see . . .
Whether or not those flighty gals
Have wings . . .
Mia was my flighty gal
And she . . .
Flew away from me

Spring Flowers
04:30
|
|||
===================================================
The last thing I'm gonna swear on is the Bible
'Cause it's the one thing telling me not to swear
So if you ask me to, I don't believe I will, sir
Because in Heaven, there ain't no liars there . . .
The last man I'm gonna run to is the butcher
Unless I'm hungry, understand?
Because the butcher is a man & I am a man
And a man keeps his meat in his hand . . .
Ajax, it smells like spring flowers
I learned that from the bottle yesterday
If spring flowers ever start to smell like Ajax
I think that I will blow myself away . . .
The last thing I'm gonna swear on is the Bible
Because it's the one thing telling me not to swear
If you ask me to, I don't believe I will, sir
Because in Heaven, there ain't no liars there . . .

Tangerines & honey beans
We're different birds of prey
But I wish you would not ignore
The worst things you could say
Come off & run back with me
We'll find the brand-new way
'Cause my love for you
Is like sand & glue
And I'll love you 'til the paint comes off
! love you 'til the paint comes off
I'll love you 'til the paint falls off
I'm covering you with rocks, sand & glue
And I'll love you 'til the paint comes off
Cut & scratched guitars & hats
Shall never forgive you
If I'm a pebble in your boot
That you've gotten used to
Then drown me in the aquifer
And I'll be your dream come blue
'Cause my love for you
Is like sand in glue
And I'll love you 'til the paint falls off
I'll love you 'til the paint falls off
! love you 'til the paint comes off
Yes, I'm covering you in rocks, sand & glue
And I'll love you 'til the paint falls off

Delusional Reality
03:16
|
|||
====================================================
Mommy's gone
Daddy's gone
And here I am sittin' all alone
By the telephone
I can hear it ringin' in my ears
It's just another day of livin'
In my world. . .
Delusional reality
Now I'm here
On the side of the road
I've got my sign in the air
And a heavy load
And it hurts sometimes
You're always on my motherfuckin' mind
It's just another day of livin'
In my world. . .
Delusional reality
Now I'm here
And a year's gone by
I think of you
And I start to cry
And I don't know why
I can't get you off my motherfuckin' mind
It's just another day of livin'
In my world. . .
Delusional reality
