Town Rat Heathen

Gettin' drunk by the figure eight
Figure one more beer oughta set me straight
Young and carefree as a boy could be
Whiskey, smokes, and LSD

Railroad tracks run along the creek
Walk 'em up and down in the summer heat
Same ol' boy changing like the seasons
Country kid turned into a town rat heathen
Country kid turned into a town rat heathen

Daddy's in jail for a DUI
Brother's in rehab a second time
Fucked up on salts and spices of all kinds
Legal drugs doing double damage to your mind

There must be greater forces at play
Too big to see and impossible say
No one alive makes it out unscathed

Aches and scars
Hey aches and scars
Hey aches and scars
Hey aches and scars
Now I think we're even
Country kid turned into a town rat heathen

Gettin' high by the covered bridge
Granny find out gonna flip her lid
Never did go to a high school dance
I was in love with a bad romance

Now I'm twenty eight with these aches and pains
Pray to the devil now with each complaint
No one alive makes it out unscathed

Aches and scars
Hey aches and scars
Hey aches and scars
Hey aches and scars
Aches and scars
Hey aches and scars
Hey aches and scars
Hey aches and scars
Now I think we're even

Country kid turned into a town rat heathen
Country kid turned into a town rat heathen
Country kid turned into a town rat heathen
