about

Them coals are turnin' bright red
Firewood's in the truckbed
River's runnin' low this time of year
Ragweed on the turnpike
Bedroom's mostly Christmas lights
I'm sorry, friend, I don't lend tools

Boy Howdy, Hot Dog! Pretty good life
Pretty little house, pretty big wife
She let's me fry her catfish twice a week

Hot plate, hot plate
baby went and made a cake
I never seen a heaven that didn't have a snake

Bluejay's a mean-ass bird
Ugliest song you've ever heard
Get off my porch I'll kick your ass
Everything she does is magic
I watch her catch a lizard
Careful or his tail will come right off

Boy Howdy, Hot Dog! Pretty good life.
Pretty little house, pretty big wife,
She let's me fry her porkchop twice a week

Well swamp-rose, sweat-stain
Get money, make it rain
Cold beer tin-can Cadillac, Mustang.

The doctor asks me where it hurts
Born to fish, forced to work
Don't let 'em tell ya what your broken heart's worth
Fire ant on the sugar trail, tailfeathers on a nightengale
Arrowheads and bones is all you'll find

Boy Howdy, Hot Dog! Pretty good life.
Pretty little house, pretty big wife,
She lets me wear her underwear
Anytime I please

Well she's thick as a forest
and a cavalry of bushwhackers
Never seen a baldnobber bullets wouldn't scatter

Goddamn, I'll be go to hell,
this bar's mostly peanut shells
But if you'll drive, we can play pool
Hot pocket, sweet potato pie
Saturday, Sunday rollin by
Take off your pants, let's watch TV

Boy Howdy, Hot Dog! Pretty good life.
Pretty little house, pretty big wife,
I can't recall my ex wife's name.

But the love you lost is right where you left it,
Oh right, gone forever boy, go ahead, forget it.

Them coals are turnin' bright red
Firewood's in the truckbed
River's runnin' low this time of year
