ALT COUNTRY BALLAD ABOUT THE RESULTS OF TOO MUCH DRINKING-
|
THERE'S A MAN IN A SHACK
THOUGH HE SAYS IT'S A HOME
WHERE HE LIVES WITH A DOG
WHO'S LOOKING FOR A BONE
TO LEAVE TO HIS CHILDREN
THOUGH HE DOESN'T HAVE A WIFE
AND UNDERNEATH HIS PILLOW
HE KEEPS A BIG CARVING KNIFE
NAILED TO THE WALL IS A CUPBOARD WITH A LOCK
WHERE THE MAN KEEPS A BOTTLE AND A HAT AND A WOK
AND AN OLD SOUP BONE TIED UP WITH STRING
WHICH WHEN THE BOTTLE RUNS LOW, THE MAN BEGINS TO SWING
IN THE YARD WAS A BIRD THO' WE'LL SAY IT'S A CHICK
WHO WHISTLED LIKE A MONKEY WITH A RAT TIED TO A STICK
AND RATTLED ALL DAY ON THE BARS OF THE CAGE
'TILL THE SHACK MAN CRACKED AND FLIES INTO A RAGE
HE STOMPED AROUND THE HOUSE LIKE A CRACK FED BULL
IN A WAL-MART SHOPPING, FOR PUNCHES TO PULL
HEAD STUCK OUT THE WINDOW HE HOLLERS AT THE SUN
GET THE HELL OFF MY PORCH, OR I'M GONNA GET MY GUN
THE SUN IS YELLOW THOUGH IT SEEMED PRETTY BRIGHT
AND AS TIME PASSED ON DAY TURNED INTO NIGHT
THE MAN STARTS SINGING 'BOUT THE FIGHT THAT HE WON
THE DOG STARTS HOWLING, AND CHEWING ON THE GUN
THE GUN GOES OFF STRIKES THE BIRD CAGE DOOR
JUMPS BOTH IT'S HINGES AS THE MAN HITS THE FLOOR
SWEARS "SWEET JESUS" AS THE BIRD FLIES THE YARD
THE DOG SITS STILL, HE'S THINKING REAL HARD
DOG TAKES THE KNIFE AND CUTS THE CUPBOARD DOOR
BONE ROLLS OUT AND FALLS ONTO THE FLOOR
DOG PICKS IT UP AND WITH A SHORT SHARP CRACK
SMASHES THROUGH THE DOOR AND TURNS HIS TAIL ON THE SHACK
NEXT MORNING COMES THE MAN, WITH HIS HAT IN HIS HAND
WHISTLES TO HIMSELF AS THE MATCH STRIKES SAND
PAPER AND IT FLARES UP, DOWN GOES THE SHACK
AIN'T NO KIDA HOME AND HE'S OFF DOWN THE TRACK
