Don't want to end up in the state penitentiary
Like them boys who knew better
But start trouble for fun
They got coked up and kicked
The neighbor boy's teeth in, now
He smiles crooked
and I'm sure they're still mean
Sure they're still mean
And learning to be meaner
Just probation fiends huffing air duster
I have a friend who drinks whiskey sours
His Jack isn't Gentleman
And I've lost some kin to the piles that they swallowed
One to the wheel that he fell asleep at
Everyone left has pneumonia or heartache
Or they fell off a ladder
No our pastures ain't green
We've had it hard
tryin' to do right for our babies
The pain ain't in the scar
It hides beneath and makes you crazy
