razor-back woman

Lyrics

i still can remember pa coming home drunk, with the boys from the union hall station, and it's hard to believe all the words that i read, we are living in god's favourite nation, and i knew he was ill from the size of his pills, but he choked on the preacher's salvation, and i know that his blood it still flows in my veins, as i fall for each blue-eyed temptation, and the razorback woman who stood by his side, is skinny and fixing to die, oh the razorback woman is calling me home, and she cries, oh my god how she cries, i was only fourteen and my dad he was mean, when his face shined a river of sweat, oh, he started yelling "you'll go straight to hell", and "you're young and your ears are still wet", when the other young boys were enjoying their toys, he gave me my first cigarette, and i'd like to say that these were the days, that my sprung lungs will never forget, and the razorback woman who stood by his side, is skinny and fixing to die, oh the razorback woman is calling me home, and she cries, oh my god how she cries
