God damn, The Pusher
God damn, I say The Pusher
I said God damn, God damn The Pusher man.
When I was a little baby, my mama she said "Son.
Travel where you will and grow to be a man
And sing what must be sung, poor boy
Sing what must be sung."
I believe in Jesus
An' what the Bible said
An' I am fairly certain
He had himself a heavy head.
And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar
Spend it fast as I can for a wailin' song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand, oh yeah.
Well you could have been lonely every night now,
Could have cried a whole lot more, been a little bit blue
Oh, you could have been lonely, for your one and only,
You could have loved me as much as I love you.
Some people say I'm a no count, others say I'm no good
But I'm just a natural born travelin' man
Doin' what I think I should, oh yeah
Doin' what I think I should.
So hold my hand, I'm going down fast,
And if I return, I'll never more be blue
It's not the leaving of all I love that makes me cry
But my darling, when I think of you.
And we could have been sweethearts, forever and ever,
Could have loved a whole lot more, been a little more true.
You know I've smoked a lot of grass
O' Lord, I've popped a lot of pills
But I never touched nothin'
That my spirit could kill.
Well, I never been to Spain
But I kinda like the music
Say the ladies are insane there
And they sure know how to use it
They don't abuse it, never gonna lose it
I can't refuse it.
Jeremiah was a bull frog
Was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him a-drink his wine
And he always had some mighty fine wine.
I'm a high night flier and a rainbow rider
And a straight-shooting son of a gun.
When it all comes down
I hope it doesn't land on you
When the truth is found
I hope it will be true to you.
The dealer for a nickel
Lord, will sell you lots of sweet dreams
Ah, but the pusher ruin your body
Lord, he'll leave your, he'll leave your mind to scream.
Well, I never been to Heaven
But I been to Oklahoma
Well, they tell me I was born there
But I really don't remember
In Oklahoma, not Arizona
What does it matter, what does it matter?
