Small Town Kings
Cigarettes and whiskey and spray-painted walls
The out of order toilet makin puddles in the hall As soon as I was born, I was rock bottom at the fall If opportunity ain't gonna knock for me It sure as hell ain't gonna call And we could be small town kings With two wheels and an engine On the back of devil's wings Oh, we could be small town kings Drunk and disheveled in the back of a police cruiser The old small town hero's now a pill-poppin boozer And it's a hard ride to heaven lookin up from the sewer When from above you're just lookin like another small town loser And we could be small town kings With two wheels and an engine On the back of devil's wings Oh, we could be small town kings Sherry's out dancin, the boys are buyin her drinks again Leann's man's beatin her up for some little thing she said again Jimmy's out cruisin in a stolen Mercedes Benz I guess the party's always harder in the depths of a dead end. And we could be small town kings With two wheels and an engine On the back of devil's wings Oh, we could be small town kings Small town trouble over liquor and paychecks Between wannabe cowboys and fate-bitten rednecks All the pretty girls are lookin for city boys at the complex To start some small town rumors about who's gettin out next And we could be small town kings With two wheels and an engine On the back of devil's wings Oh, we could be small town kings. |
