lyrics

Bail on the bondsman, lay the banana peel
Hay bale hate mail, cow tail pinwheel
Skip out on the court date, hide everything you steal
Hold the nail still—I'm gonna seal the deal

Hail on the rooftop, card table cartwheels
Hightail it with the cops on your heels
Stay out of jail if you're ready to squeal
Otherwise you're gonna need a couple appeals

Cowboys, Indians
How much to have some fun?
All because it was a shotgun wedding
That blew away everyone

The sky's the color of anti-freeze
Just dust bunny tumbleweeds
Down in the dumps with the Chief of Police
Next round's on me

I'm leaving Fat Sally's four drinks deep
And heading downtown to The Hickory
Green chili quiche & a front porch daydream
Nine rounds in my 33

Bless this broken glass
The best things never last
Move it along—Can't shake the past
Lead story on every newscast

The pool's turning green
They're taping off the crime scene
Gonna need a lot more chlorine
If you know what I mean

Lea's locks are kelp run ashore
The fox got paid, but the help's still poor
Take tomorrow off
And file the report on Monday

It's raining, it's pouring
My cellmate is snoring
Steinbeck's indelible
Kerouac is boring
