about

Sometimes the Muse just hands you one. I tried to stay out of her way and let the story tell itself....

lyrics

Rain rain fallin’ down
Settlin’ the dust in this one horse town
Dust to mud
Dust to mud
Will I ever be dry again

Reservation hound bitin’ on fleas
Worst lookin’ dog you ever did see
Sorriest mongrel you ever did see
Uh huh

Oh my my what did I do
What I did to get over you
Is what landed me here in this one horse town
Down in Mexico

I never even hit him that hard, I swear
But it was just behind his ear, just below his hairline
Just behind his ear
He made a funny sound
And I had to run

C - Well well I feel so bad
And when I feel bad I get angry
When I get angry things start goin’ wrong
When I get to feelin’ this way
That old dog better stay out of my way
Senorita come to me, make me feel like I’m a man

They chased me West, they chased me South
Sure as these words come out of my mouth
Sure as these words come out of my mouth
You can’t believe everything you hear

They chased me South, They chased me West
Two got bullets in the chest
One got lost
One went home
And I broke free

Yeah I made out, I guess that’s so
But you pay the man wherever you go
You can’t run so fast or run so far
To ever really get away


C- Well well I feel so bad
And when I feel bad I get angry
And when I get angry things start goin’ wrong
When I get to feelin’ this way
That old boy shoulda stayed out of my way
Sometimes a man don’t know what’s gonna make him feel like he’s a man

Now I got no money, I got no friends
I got this bottle but it’s almost empty
Got this bottle but it’s almost gone
I believe I’m sinkin’ down

Got five bullets in my gun
One for the Father, one for the Son
One for the Ghost, one for the dog
The last one is for me

C- Well well I feel so bad
And when I feel bad I get angry
When I get angry things start goin’ wrong
When I get to feelin’ this way
Everybody better stay out of my way
Nothin’ in this world ever gonna make me feel like I’m a man

Rain rain fallin’ down
Settlin’ the dust in this one horse town
Dust to mud
Dust to dust
Will I ever be dry again
