lyrics

get up off your prayer bones singing "hail to the President"
baby, poke your heels into your heat making skirt
there's a lot of heavy sugar coming in tonight
and I don't think that Jesus needs to see all the what honey that we'll be doing
have a belt a gin & practice up your toothy grin
cuz if we're gonna burn it down
by God, we're gonna burn it down
we get to the honky-tonk they're doin "strictly union"
baby, I bet they play your mother's favorite song
I saw that heap of jack coming in the door
and you said he's just your sin hound & I fingered up my onion peeler
baby, you're all awash & we're south of the slot we're gonna need another plan
Stallion!
Well, it was all just orphan paper when they finally stuck it in
looks like the reverend he'd been stealing from the church
well they knew my drape so it didn't matter when they sent the dragnet I was burning with a low blue flame
they grabbed me off the bar stool
had their silver bracelets
said I'd probably do a nickle since he didn't die
straight from the fridge, dad
