Lobo Town - James McMurtry Lyrics




Grand Daddy's good name

Fits like a shackle and a chain

And all them others, long dead

Still hanging round my head

Hard working kind of men

There's not a one left of them

There's only me

There's only mine~

I guess we're all the other kind



Throwin' dice and dippin' snuff

Out in a trailer back in the brush

Sippin' Crown and smokin' weed

Huntin' hogs and cookin' speed

That's how we do it

Nowadays

`No matter what the teachers used to say

Pass judgment if you dare

See if any of us care



(chorus)

You're goddamn right

You got no clue

So don't tell me I'm dyin'

That old black dog has got me down

And I can't get loose from Lobo Town



The post mistress telling tales

While all the blue hairs come get their mail

Wonderin' why a boy like me

Gets into trouble

Well let me see

They might be kinder if I were poor

But they might only hate me more

When they only know you by your car

It's who you come from not who you are



Two hundred channels on big TV

Won't fill the holes inside of me

I'm getting twisted

I'm getting sick

I need some help and I need it quick

'Cause I can feel the curtain fall when won't no one

return my calls

I used 'em hard

I used 'em up

I never will amount to much



(chorus)



I'll take the house and the land

Gonna list it get what I can

Sell the horses

Sell the cows

Sell 'em all

Sell 'em now
