Sweating like a devil but I know I'm getting strong.
Pappy's little children playing out in the lawn.
Close down the shed before the day turns to dawn, waiting for the Family to appear.

Digging through the basement for a batch of peach wine.
Already drank one so it made it hard to find.
Everyone arrived around half past nine, guess I got to meet them when they're here.

Alligator Whisky with my high heels on.
Dancing round the fire with my good old Uncle Tom.
Ate a lot of pie so now we all can get along, all I made of food has disappeared.

Oh Cousin, always want to tell em, everybody's high and everybody's welcome. Ooh child, things are getting wild, jumping round the whole night through.

Fires growing bigger and it's flying in the sky.
Baby's in the tree and it's climbing way too high.
Finally got her down after thirty hundred tries, oh so many things that she could see.

Gotta move the table cuz I'm a big man.
Supper's almost ready and it's steaming in the pan.
Living on the lizards shooting everything we can, sure tastes fine to me.

Things are getting pretty hazy round that time.
Trying to remember something scribbled in my mind.
Homemade drugs will make you feel so fine, take me where I always want to be.

Oh brother, we all want to love her, devil in one eye jesus in the other.
Oh momma, drinking cuz we aughta no one needs to tell us it's a crime.
Oh baby, my god can't save me, did some bad things and I doubt that he can forgave me.
Ooh lordy, I'll tell you a story, gives me the willies every time.

While homeward I scoot,
Came the sheriff's in pursuit,
Riding close from the rear;

The red lights flashed on,
The fun was gone,
But still, I had nothing to fear;

The joy it had brought,
Was lost once I'm caught,
And the laughter it vanished away;

The few people knew,
About the police tires I blew,
I've only been caught just this day;

If it happens again.
I'll give them a grin,
But I've retired these days from my crime;

The memory I bare,
The laughter, the dare;
The story turned now into rhyme.
