Mary Alice had a baby and he looked just like | |
I did We got married on a | |
Monday and | |
I been working ever since | |
Every week down at the | |
Ford Plant but now they say they're shutting down | |
Goddamned | |
Reagan in the | |
White House and no one there gives a damn | |
Double Digit unemployment, | |
TVA be shutting soon | |
While over there in | |
Huntsville, | |
They puttin' people on the moon | |
So I took to runnin' numbers for this man | |
I used to know | |
And I sell a few narcotics and | |
I sell a little blow | |
I ain't getting rich now but | |
I'm gettin' more than by | |
It's really tough to make a living but a man just got to try | |
If I died in | |
Colbert County, | |
Would it make the evening news? | |
They too busy blowin' rockets, | |
Puttin' people on the moon | |
Mary Alice quit askin' why | |
I do the things | |
I do I ain't sayin' that she likes it, but what else | |
I'm gonna do? | |
If I could solve the world's problems | |
I'd probably start with hers and mine | |
But they can put a man on the moon | |
And I'm stuck in | |
Muscle Shoals just barely scraping by | |
Mary Alice got cancer just like everybody here | |
Seems everyone | |
I know is gettin' cancer every year | |
And we can't afford no insurance, | |
I been 10 years unemployed | |
So she didn't get no chemo so our lives was destroyed | |
And nothin' ever changes, the cemetery gets more full | |
And now over there in | |
Huntsville, even | |
NASA's shut down too | |
Another Joker in the | |
White House, said a change was comin' round | |
But I'm still workin' at | |
The Wal Mart and | |
Mary Alice, in the ground | |
And all them politicians, they all lyin' sacks of shit | |
They say better days upon us but | |
I'm sucking left hind tit | |
And the preacher on the | |
TV says it ain't too late for me | |
But I bet he drives a | |
Cadillac and | |
I'm broke with some hungry mouths to feed | |
I wish I'z still an outlaw, was a better way of life | |
I could clothe and feed my family still have time to love my pretty wife | |
And if you say | |
I'm being punished. | |
Ain't he got better things to do? | |
Turnin' mountains into oceans | |
Puttin' people on the moon | |
Turnin' mountains into oceans | |
Puttin' people on the moon |
