lyrics

Sentencing don’t go to well round here
They send you straight to hell I hear
And guilty is the only way to be, apparently
I don’t care about right nor wrong
Just spit that shit off of your tongue
And we shall see what sticks or what slinks to the floor

Cuz this time, next year, I won’t be here anyway
So, say what you’re gonna say

Last night around five o’clock
I tried to touch your flesh but you bucked me off
It’s plain to see you don’t even want me round your dreams
But that’s okay cuz when you awake I’ll be far away
I’ll be a lightning streak
If you want me head out to the country look up at the sky

this time, next year, I’ll be too far away
So, say what your gonna say

So now it’s goodbye to Texas mama
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to all the friendly folks I knew
I’m going up to Michigan
I’ll find my good old buddy Pat
He’ll put me through some hard work mama
But we’ll get drunk right after that
When I get back you know
I’ll be a man
As tanned and calloused as a real MexAmerican
You know, my skin won’t reek of grief
My blood won’t strain out of a sieve
I’ll wear a crown of moonlight darling
Just like the queen of Nazareth
