Viola Lee Blues 08:01

The judge decreed it, the clerk he wrote it. Clerk he wrote it down indeed-e Judge decreed it, clerk he wrote it down Give you this jail sentence you'll be Nashville bound Some got six month some got one solid. Some got one solid year indeed-e Some got six month some got one solid. But me and my buddies all got lifetime here I wrote a letter I mailed in the air, Mailed it on the air indeed-e I wrote a letter I mailed in the air. You may know by that I've got a friend somewhere

I jump in I'm at the bank and no one's having fun The only one who is, is I and the hammer on the gun Put the cash in the sack it’s a pillow case It might get hot now when I thermite the safe This is a robbery everybody get down This is a stick up get your face on the ground Dynamites attached to the weight bearing loads You know what time it is; it’s time for a show This place right here This place right here is about to explode The getaway car’s a Caddy Coupe hearse Deville The coffin’s all stuffed full with twenty dollar bills Po Po don’t come till we hit the road This place right here is about to explode

Horses 08:12

Scissor kick your little sis Backed into the scissor lift Try pick the paper and the winner You're growing up so goddamned fast Where were you out skipping class Inside the world with mother nature Climb aboard this rusty spoon with sharpened knives and wooden shoes candle wax and super glue the ticket Eyes wide open stapled up. Horses ate your tablecloth. You just now heard of Wilson Pickett Someone spilled oil on my new shirt Someone broke my heart and it hurt I'm itching my way into an itchy wool sweater I'll start the day when I start feeling better. Mustang Sally, Sally Sue Oh she ate that superglue, and Horses, they can be cannibalistic That funny taste the glue was laced Damn near made a Federal case Out of this whole situation I'm a cowboy cast in stone I eat my meals I eat alone Suddenly I feel so altruistic From him and her to me and you whoever ate the superglue I hope you enjoy these fascinations Someone spilled oil on my new shirt Someone broke my heart and it hurt I'm itching my way into an itchy wool sweater I'll patent the deed when I start feeling better.

Move to the City 09:12
lyrics

When you lost all your marbles Thats how you met me When you called down for lightening You'll see When you moved to the city That's how you met me When you lost all your money at the horse race Call me up whenever you want to Call me up anytime Call me up when ever you want to lay awake

Keep Walking 13:41
lyrics

Better dedicate a dozen or so of them gophers in the ground. You'll find a family of five getting highway downtown. It's a hyphy hayride with John Deere and the troops. I'd rather have a snake pit, boy, than bulldoze a chicken coop. Wind up the cable and fasten it to the beat Skinny dip river, salmon spawn downstream. Keep walking. I'm on a cloud. My back is broken and my dogs get loud. Cut the grass. You got a half gallon of sprouts. Get tossed into a lunch sack with the prize fighter bouts Tip of the pen sits a uniform in hat Well perched abreast to that sits a rifle and a bat Tip off the guard if you're looking to get caught Well, at least its air conditioned in my cell beneath the parking lot Keep Walking High fists at noon Somebody's making noise down in the collagen room Raise the stakes Barbeques out in back, and my wife's in the kid's room sipping on her cognac. Baby's in the cradle, he's not making a fuss. Where a kid can really be a kid, take you on back to Toys 'R' Us. Keep walking. I'm on a cloud My shoes are soaking and my thoughts get loud.
