lyrics

I remember rounding up the pigs
Down in Calabasas
You unzip their muscle til they
Ooze down into molasses

No Jenner could break Calamity Jane
But Lord knows they can make it rain
You watch them from your front room
As they bleed out all your pain

If the Beverley Hillbillies could see us now
They’d hee-haw till they were six feet down
As the stars are lost and found
We just wait for the new season to come around

A bull gave his horns for this Dolce and Gabana
As I pulled he just bit down harder

I don’t miss the holes in all my socks
Or shoes filled up with little rocks
Or hoisting those pigs onto the scales
Or the dirt underneath my nails

Would I take back the hours on my feet?
Would I enjoy the blistering heat?
Would I miss my set top box?
Swooning to the lullabies of Fox

I can’t say it was all fun
But I’d drop it all for one more run
5pm quiz shows to the side
This cowboy’s born to ride
