Music and Lyrics by Rance Garrison

lyrics

The medicine man came down from Detroit
In a gray and white Dodge van
And I said “Hey ma go fetch LeRoy”
Then I firmly shook his hand
And the curtains swayed when the wind blew through
An old book fell from the shelf
And you began at once to come unglued
Then you picked up the rest that were left
And the doctors danced underneath the moon
The gods looked down and they laughed
While they yelled last call at the old saloon
And the painter studied his craft
And the lights went up in a mighty sight
I saw the future and the past
But the screen went dark after the fight
You said, “please kiss me fast”
And I never knew why I’d procrastinate
And I never knew why I was lost
And I’m too fucked up to punctuate
I’ll show you who’s the boss

Times are hard on everyone
Nobody got money to spend
I’m taking my shit back to Pennington
I’m tired of not seeing my friends
And it’s so goddamn cold I can’t keep warm
It’s so goddamn hot lets fry
Some sunny up eggs with dry wheat toast
On the concrete sidewalk outside
I got these smokes I bought up here
At the Fasmart by the Burger King
And I got three bucks and some old dirty jokes
I’ll trade you for that box spring
Don’t tell Frank Bailey down at Caldwell’s Church
Of the Mighty Nazarene
That all that learnin’ just wasn’t worth
Me losing my soul to Hades
And I’m taking time off around the fourth
And I’m just gonna sit here at home
But don’t you tell Aunt Reba or Preacher George
They don’t like me being all alone

Look out boys it’s getting late
I hear the sirens nearby
And I’m too damn nervous to speculate
On the state of your vinegar flies
The far fetch stories you used to tell
Shame on you, damn your eyes
You’re no good you can go to hell
And stay there til Heaven dies.
