Dirty Moustache

I look down at myself, see by biscuit gravy
Smeared on the front of my shirt

And I look in the mirror at my reflection
Stubbly face covered in dirt

And I catch a glimpse in a puddle of my gut hanging over
My black jeans, covered in the ash of a smoke
The mid-day clock was a ringin' and a callin'
Just at the time I awoke

Greasy hair and a dirty moustache
Is all I have to show
For a foolish man who would ever let
A fine woman like you go

But you wanted them all in white
Teeth to match
Golden hair
But here's the catch
You liked the mean
The worst you'd seen
But did you ever
Want any of that

Got my black shirt and jeans, black hat and horse
'Cause it's good for hiding, the dirt and the grime
But there's many a person, who'd point the finger my way
Though it was never me, that did the crime

They said I took
Cattle from the pen
Eggs from the chicken
Liquor right out of the drum
But none of that hurt
Half as much as you thinking that
That was what I had done

Greasy hair and a dirty moustache
Is all I have to show
For a foolish man who would ever let
A fine woman like you go

But you wanted them all in white
Teeth to match
Golden hair
And a fine moustache
You liked the mean
The worst you'd seen
But did you ever
Want any of that

You said I was selfish, you said I was rude
You said I never really loved you

Well I was selfish and I was rude
But I have always really loved you

You told me to clean up, wash my dirty moustache
I said "that's something, I can never do"

Greasy hair and a dirty moustache
Is all I have to show
For a foolish man who would ever let
A fine woman like you go

But you wanted them all in white
Teeth to match
Golden hair
And a fine moustache
You liked the mean
The worst you'd seen
But did you ever
Want any of that

I met you on the road, you were something else
You kissed me on the moustache, and I fell
But the river went dry and the cattle left
My moustache was the only thing that was wet

And maybe I've never loved anybody else
And maybe I've only ever loved myself

But our first kiss, it was true bliss
And my moustache will always be a reminder of this
