[Lyrics]
life tasted sweet when I was the bad twin
devil himself sat waving me by

all of my tattoos
they were of no use
no monetary values have I

ooh 
wont be long till I belong

bird at my window tells me tomorrow
mean ol tornado carries me off

pulls me from bed and bashes my head in
buries me halfway across the globe

ooh
wont be long till I belong
without all of this unlucky skin

think of me often
loosen my coffin
let all the bugs in my wooden home

ooh
wont be long till I belong
without all of this unlucky skin

[Lyrics]
doing 85 going north on 81
wont see my baby till the rising of the sun
Tennessee keeps warnin’ me if i booze it i might lose it
but shine on Georgia Moon
shine on

yeah well its hard to see the road
through this rain and all the fog

well this Appalachian driving has me tired as a dog
but this mason full of moonshine, is gonna keep me mighty strong
so shine on Georgia Moon
shine on

so loosen up the lid and open up the throttle
you wanna see the light? 
aint gonna find it in a bottle
cause when I’m sippin’ on a jar 
the road aint quite so long

so shine on Georgia Moon
shine on

[Lyrics]
we’re social mutts thus
nothing really suits us
roaming is a local curse
(but hey it could be worse)
fuck getting by 
go quit your job 
lets get drunk in a parking lot

I’ve seen North Dakota
I’ve seen the west sea
now i travel by rail so they cant find me
no use wonderin’ where
to rest your feet
spilt milk 
on borrowed mink my sweet

come skin your knees with us
life’s too short for business lunch

[Lyrics}
just a mile down the road and a street or two away
lives that freckled misses that I want most every day
to the home of her father 
im gonna drag my sore ol’ feet
tell him shes the woman who can wake me from my sleep

well she said kiss me
and lord I listened
but I haven’t gone back since
i curse the mind for building proper fence

so I will roll and I will suffer
curse the soil and curse the stones
keep my eyes a leakin’ for that girl does love my bones

well I’ve known her for a year
I’ve only seen her seven days
one week to many to keep a man like me away

well she said kiss me
and lord I listened
but I haven’t gone back since
i curse the mind for building proper fence

so three years after
found her doorstep
found her shoes and found her kin
they told me old grim reaper 
done come and turned her in

pourin’ liquor on the stone
that marks my lost and gone
well i will whimper and wail
and sing her funeral song
