The Ballad of the Unlucky Man
Hotter than I remember
Dryer than every year before
Buried what I hope don't grow
And the whole damn worlds at war
Liable to come a knocking
Any day now they're due
Said a man come round was asking some things
That might lead back to you
Cause I'll be damned if I'll go easy
Ain't no man gonna take my pride
Just as soon dig one more hole
Lay him down there by your side
Give 'em one good reason
To not go messing in my ground
Best mind his own damn business
As he suspects, I don't fuck around
Now lay me down my wretched soul
One day I'll walk your streets of gold
Forgive me Lord for all my sins
Hope pearly gates will let me in
Said a man showed up last Tuesday
In a brand new Model T
Said his boy went missing
Was wondering if he'd been seen
Picture looked familiar
To many folks here in this town
He was always with that farm girl
See, him and her they were running round
Now lay me down my wretched soul
One day I'll walk your streets of gold
Forgive me Lord for all my sins
Hope pearly gates will let me in
When he pulled up I was waiting
In the trees there off the side
Saw him holding something
Wouldn't have mattered if he tried
I laid him down real easy
Bleeding there right by the side
Of the boy that he was after
Those who seek
So shall they find
Now lay me down my wretched soul
One day I'll walk your streets of gold
Forgive me Lord for all my sins
Hope pearly gates will take me in
Dryer than every year before
Buried what I hope don't grow
And the whole damn worlds at war
Liable to come a knocking
Any day now they're due
Said a man come round was asking some things
That might lead back to you
Cause I'll be damned if I'll go easy
Ain't no man gonna take my pride
Just as soon dig one more hole
Lay him down there by your side
Give 'em one good reason
To not go messing in my ground
Best mind his own damn business
As he suspects, I don't fuck around
Now lay me down my wretched soul
One day I'll walk your streets of gold
Forgive me Lord for all my sins
Hope pearly gates will let me in
Said a man showed up last Tuesday
In a brand new Model T
Said his boy went missing
Was wondering if he'd been seen
Picture looked familiar
To many folks here in this town
He was always with that farm girl
See, him and her they were running round
Now lay me down my wretched soul
One day I'll walk your streets of gold
Forgive me Lord for all my sins
Hope pearly gates will let me in
When he pulled up I was waiting
In the trees there off the side
Saw him holding something
Wouldn't have mattered if he tried
I laid him down real easy
Bleeding there right by the side
Of the boy that he was after
Those who seek
So shall they find
Now lay me down my wretched soul
One day I'll walk your streets of gold
Forgive me Lord for all my sins
Hope pearly gates will take me in
