My son is waiting on me, and he ain't a patient man.
Go and get the sheriff, tell him anything you can.
(Just get him.)
Burned myself on this cast-iron pan handle
long before you came
love was never the subject.
(Go and tell your mom I'd never do it.)
Remember seeing Shirley on the oil fountain?
What a woman, dancing.
I just wanted a happy ending.
(For your little sister, wherever she is:)
Don't be so sorry just cause you lost to your old man, man, man.
Cause
none of this is gonna happen to me
none of this is gonna happen to me
none of this is gonna happen to me
within my lifetime.
I'm just sick to death of the word "inheritance".
It's with your great-grandparents.
You've inherited the wind, fool.
I hope you enjoy it.
I hope you enjoy it.
But I'm going out flipping the bird to California.
Keep your mountains, stars.
I followed all the rules,
I wasn't the one who turned the screw
so hard.
We have a great wanting in common, common, common.
But
none of this is gonna happen to me
none of this is gonna happen to me
none of this is gonna happen to me
within my lifetime. (x 2)
