Testo Liquor Store - Uncle Lucius
Testo della canzone Liquor Store (Uncle Lucius), tratta dall'album Something They Ain't
Take me down to the liquor store now
I need my poison close at hand
Take me down to the liquor store now
The devil's dealt me an idle hand
Born on a train on the fourth of July
'Bout the time that my dad died in 'Nam
Wasn't given a chance or even a name
Spent a night in my sweet mama's arms
Then she gave me away to a railyard bum
Who drank bourbon and walked with a limp
Been riding these rails since I drew my first breath
Guess to die here would only seem fit
So won't you please now
Take me down to the liquor store now
I need my poison close at hand
Take me down to the liquor store now
The devil's dealt me an idle hand
I put thirty-two grand on a horse named Believe
And the jockey fell off its back
Now I'm really in deep with the shark this time
He'll kill me for cutting his slack
Now my wife and my son are all I think about
And the pain is just too much to bear
So I'm searching for grace at the bottom tonight
Ever fearful of what's drawn near
So won't you please now
Take me down to the liquor store now
I need my poison close at hand
Take me down to the liquor store now
The devil's dealt me an idle hand
Daddy hit her too hard on the days he was drunk
And quite often he touched her all wrong
So she grew up without a clue in the world
Just about what love really was
Now you'll find her uptown selling pleasure for cash
To only the worst kind of men
There's a hole in her soul that she fills with the drink
And tonight she'll cry out again
Won't you please now
Take me down to the liquor store now
I need my poison close at hand
Take me down to the liquor store now
The devil's dealt me an idle hand
Take me down to the liquor store now
Take me down to the liquor store now
