Wrong Side of the Road

Put a dead cat on the railroad tracks
Wolf bains blooming by the tressel
Get the eyeball of a rooster
And the stones from a ditch
Wash 'em down with bilge water
Say you'll never snitch

Take the buttons from a yellow jacket
And the feather from a buzzard
Blood from a bounty hunter's cold black heart
Catch the tears of a widow in a thimble made of glass
Tell your mama and your papa they can kiss your ass
Poison all the water in the wishin' well
Hang all them scarecrows from a Sycamore tree

Burn down all them honeymoons put 'em in a pillow case
Wait next to the switch blades at the amusement park for me
Strangle all the Christmas carols scratch out all the prayers
Tie 'em up with barbed wire and push 'em down the stairs
And I'll whittle you a pistol for keep the nightmares of the blinds
Them son of bitches always seem to sneak up from behind

Syphon all the gas from your daddy's pickup truck
Fill up Johnny's T-bird and I got a couple of bucks
Put on a little perfume and wear ribbon in your hair
Careful that you don't wake up the hounds

Tear a bolt of lightning of the side of the sky
And throw it in the cedar chest if you want to tell me why
Bring me the gear shift knob from a 49 Merc
Lay down here beside me let me hold you in the dirt

You're gonna tremble
Tear the throat out of the night
Sink your teeth into my shoulder
Dig your nails into my back
Tell that little girl to let go of my sleeve
You'll be a woman when I catch you
Come fall in love with me
With my double barrel shotgun and a whole box of shells
We'll celebrate the 4 of July
We'll do 100 mph spendin' someone elses dough
We'll drive all the way to Reno
On the wrong side of the road
The wrong side of the road
On the wrong side of the road
The wrong side of the road
Wrong side of the road
Wrong side of the road
Hey, baby!
