Evil

Was standing in line at the equestrian mart
Looks like it's about to rain
I got two small kids, and I'm late on the rent
Wife's dead two weeks to the day
Dead two weeks to the, two weeks to the day

Well, the sun came out, but it was cold as hell
My fingers were as numb as my mind
When my quarter horse Reg kicked me in the head
While I was shoeing him up from behind
Shoeing him up, shoeing him up from behind

But every now and then I get evil
I'm ashamed in the shadow of the steeple
I'm a lunatic looking through a keyhole
I hit my kids, but I don't mean to
I'm a dead dog lying on the sidewalk
Another victim of the mortgage bubble pop
Waiting on the other shoe to drop, ah

Melanie lives at the house next down
Got a head full of auburn curls
I seen her standing in the mud with a baseball glove
Spitting at the other girls
Spitting at the, spitting at the other girls

Well, here she come in the afternoon
With some apples and a pack of Reds
She bathes my babies then she reads me to sleep
Nothing much ever gets said
Nothing much ever gets, nothing much ever gets said

But every now and then I get evil
I'm ashamed in the shadow of the steeple
I'm a lunatic looking through a keyhole
I hit my kids, but I don't mean to
I'm a dead dog lying on the sidewalk
Another victim of the mortgage bubble pop
Waiting on the other shoe to drop, ah

Oh
Oh

Well, the cops show up with their lights turned off
Judge Johnny from across the street
Had some calls last night, something didn't look right
Grab your things, you better come with me

Accusations in a room with a neon light
She said, "Don't you pay us no mind"
All we ever shared was a loneliness
He and I was two of a kind
He and I was two of a, was two of a kind

But every now and then I get evil
I'm ashamed in the shadow of the steeple
I'm a lunatic looking through a keyhole
I hit my kids, but I don't mean to
I'm a dead dog lying on the sidewalk
Another victim of the mortgage bubble pop
Waiting on the other shoe to drop, ah

Ah-ah-ah
Oh-hmm
