HOOSEGOW

(Skatenigs)

“I also like to blow holes in the heads of rednecks.”

“Let’s throw this dive into overdrive!”
Were the words out of my mouth
I swallowed them so clearly
In a border town to the south

Miles and miles of duct tape
Couldn’t patch up my day
I remember when that Mexican stumbler
Took my dreams away

I’ll see you in the hoosegow…
When all the drinks have spilled!
I’ll see you in the hoosegow…
When my prescription’s filled!

Plenty of time to find trouble
If I don’t, trouble finds me
I would turn twenty-five before I realized
It was in my family tree

A twenty-dollar fee and I could be free
But I just couldn’t pay that man
A bottle of tequila, a pawn shop ticket
And a free admission to the can

I’ll see you in the hoosegow…
When all the drinks have spilled!
I’ll see you in the hoosegow…
When my prescription’s filled!

[1:26 – guitar solos]

I didn’t see it, but it must’ve been
A lesson to be learned
Every time I saw that Mexican stumbler
You know his back was turned

If you want to learn about your mother
Then read the writing on the wall
If you ain’t got nothing nice to say
Well the hoosegow says it all

I’ll see you in the hoosegow…
When all the drinks have spilled!
I’ll see you in the hoosegow…
When my prescription’s filled!
