lyrics

My father was a gambler, a killer and a spy
My momma did some whorin' with one leg and one eye
Her breast milk smelled like whiskey, her kisses cherry wine
At six years old I shot a man, and didn't even cry.
Well I know my parents loved me, until the day they died.
My father tied my mother, to the train tracks late one night.
And as she lay there crying, out of her one eye.
She kicked him with her good leg, and he fell by her side.
Well the train came a roaring, hit two bumps and rolled on by.
The same could happen to us babe, if we aim a little too high.

Well ya know, that old freight train don't stop here anymore.
And the doctor told us last week you still shouldn't be this sore
And I know I said I loved you but I've pitched that lie before, play it once more.
