christine on crystal
she says it's the only way to go
it blows you like a whistle
it grips you like a pistol
until your garden grows
fairy tales never come true
he's knocked her up
and he's leavin' too, leavin' too
she'll find the sky and fly
between the tips and the lullabies, lullabies
christine on crystal
she says it's the only way to go
it blows you like a whistle
it grips you like a pistol
until your garden grows
alimony's never too sides
but the sunshine bus makes an easy drive, easy drive
with a little nightmare dream it shakes
she can hear him come 'til she's wide awake, wide awake
christine on crystal
she says it's the only way to go
it blows you like a whistle
it grips you like a pistol
until your garden grows
christine on crystal

"i don't need this anymore

all she wants is his ass out of jail
all she's really got is two cats and a trail

she got a picture of a victim on the wall
said, "Don't you worry, 'cause he's never, ever gonna call.
took his life and dug his muddy grave
didn't know who kills you is the same as being saved
"sit back and watch me heal myself
get a little bit nervous
there's a bottle inside my shelf"

"Widget Man"
put me on a plane

to get me in line (get me in line)
you made me shoot my chickens
before they cracked
you're so dumb
i'll never be back
and I don't want this texas town
i don't want your longhorns around
i don't want your ****ed up plan (Knott muted this swear from the mix)
widget man
widget man
bring in the women
show you a good time (show you a good time)
but they're all on the payroll
when they roll on the table
let me show you a castle
with big shiny doors (with big shiny doors)
who's gonna live here? (who's gonna live here?)
your wife or your whore?
and i don't want this texas town
i don't want your longhorns around
i don't want your ****ed up plan
widget man

if it were local
be proud of what i said
if not for my wife and kid
and i don't want this texas town
i don't want your longhorns around
i don't want your ****ed up plan
I don't want your widget man

"Popsicle Stick"
it's such a drag, it's such a drag
sippin' your talent from a paper bag
losin' friends you never had
and what a life, what a life it's become
choosin' between Jesus and a pellet gun
i never wanted to hurt no one
"hey daddy, can you read this popsicle stick?
mama likes to buy me the kind with jokes on it."
how does a farmer transport a cow?
in a moo-ving van
it's not a drag, it's not a drag
squeezin' your pennies from a dried out rag
findin' true love like you never had
and what a find, what a find it's become
learnin' about Jesus from a little one
yeah, and she's shinin' just like the sun
she says...
"hey daddy, can you read this popsicle stick?
mama likes to buy me the kind with jokes on it."
how does a farmer transport a cow?
in a moo-ving van
it's not a drag, it's not a drag (3x)
how does a farmer transport a cow?
in a moo-ving van
"Local Supply"

"Sugar Cane"

"Rock Stars on H"
Rock stars on heroin
Who's to blame for letting them in
They were cool when they were poor
Now they're just rich spoiled druggies on horse
Rock stars on heroin
Rock stars on heroin
They quit their jobs for rock stardom
They're so wasted they can't play at all
Just what I need, some more winner role models
Rock stars on heroin
It must be tough to be rich & famous
Big and blameless, pushed by your record company
Get your name in Billboard
Receive awards while wheeling and dealing overseas
Rock stars on heroin
Payin' the price for rock stardom
But the chicks keep screaming for more
Listen to me roar
Rock stars on heroin
Rock stars on heroin
Who's to blame for letting them win
They were cool when they were broke
Now they're just rich spoiled druggies on horse
Rock stars on heroin
It must be tough to be rich and famous
It must be tough to be big and blameless
Rock stars on heroin

"Motor Queen"
She's got the bushings tight when the flex is right
It's the fan's delight when the smoke is blowin'
Sets the track aglow
She got the lube flow with the lifters low
Such a drag show whenever she gets goin'
When she's ready to go
Yeah she's my side-loaded cam-coated pro-stock cherry machine
Motor Queen, I said motor motor
I said motor me slim, I said motor me in
Motor Queen, I said motor motor
I said motor me slim, I said motor me in
She's got the crank and rods breaking performance odds
Killing racing gods with the magic number, what's that magic number
Pushing the cylinder until cracks occur she's no worrier
Just a cool boss wonder, pushing the whole field under
Yeah, she's my side-loaded, cam-coated, pro-stock cherry machine
Motor Queen, I said motor motor
I said motor me slim, I said motor me in
Motor Queen, I said motor motor
I said motor me slim, I said motor me in
Go cat, go!
She got the lube flow with the lifters low
Such a drag show whenever she gets goin'
When she's ready to go
She's got the bushings tight when the flex is right
It's the fans delight when the smoke is blowin'
Sets the track a-glowin'
Yeah she's my side-loaded cam-coated pro-stock cherry machine
Motor Queen, I said motor motor
I said motor me slim, I said motor me in
Motor Queen, I said motor motor
I said motor me slim, I said motor me in
Yeah
"Top of the World"
one says she's an accountant from vegas
the other said she's a friendly cocktail waitress
we guessed they were strippers on vacation
<>
'cause when you're knocked off the top of the world
sometimes you need a piece of mind
'cause when you're knocked off the top of the world
sometimes, sometimes you need a piece of mind
he said he was schooled as a surgeon
healed a hundred lives when they were hurting
we heard he was just some back-street dealer
but we played along for the feelin,' yeah
'cause when you're knocked off the top of the world
sometimes you need a piece of mind
'cause when you're knocked off the top of the world
sometimes, sometimes you need a piece of mind
i said i was rich, wealthy and famous
partied down with all the pretty faces
they knew it was just some drunken loser
but all played along with the boozer
'cause when you're knocked off the top of the world
sometimes you need a piece of mind
'cause when you're knocked off the top of the world
sometimes, sometimes you need a piece of mind
