lyrics
Got a sweat-soaked Jackson mashed far down in my jeans
Half a dozen shots down, I got to keep my soul clean
Ain't nobody can tell you when the taxi pullin round to take you away
Six days left for me to make rent
And I never never never never never knew
Nobody be what they want, you just wait for the devil come for you
And he come when all but twenty spent
Coulda swore she 26 but I was off by nine
If the man want his fee he'll have to cross the Mississippi borderline
Down at this truck stop casino I'll never be found
They'll never ever catch me here
Pay the piper exile to see her shoulders bare
And I never never never never never knew
You get half what you put in with odds of one time out of two
It's got to be better somewhere
I stole this Buick parked on side the liquor store
I got her started just as the rain began to pour
I'm bound for Cali where the money waits for me, it waits for me
At least that's what everyone say
And I never never never never never knew
Dead ends all over waitin and they ain't particular for who
The sun's out but it sure ain't day
Half a dozen shots down, I got to keep my soul clean
Ain't nobody can tell you when the taxi pullin round to take you away
Six days left for me to make rent
And I never never never never never knew
Nobody be what they want, you just wait for the devil come for you
And he come when all but twenty spent
Coulda swore she 26 but I was off by nine
If the man want his fee he'll have to cross the Mississippi borderline
Down at this truck stop casino I'll never be found
They'll never ever catch me here
Pay the piper exile to see her shoulders bare
And I never never never never never knew
You get half what you put in with odds of one time out of two
It's got to be better somewhere
I stole this Buick parked on side the liquor store
I got her started just as the rain began to pour
I'm bound for Cali where the money waits for me, it waits for me
At least that's what everyone say
And I never never never never never knew
Dead ends all over waitin and they ain't particular for who
The sun's out but it sure ain't day
