MILE DOWN THE ROAD Something's causing a flicker in my driver's side headlamp Something's making an awful sound -- sounds like a broken Marshall amp Something's in my transmission sounds like an electrocuted toad And something's just a mile down the road Chorus: A mile down the road, oh, a mile down the road It'll all be better just a mile down the road Gonna pull this car right over gonna see my love unload When I pull up to your porch just a mile down the road Something's in my battery makes the truck feel like it's on acid Something's cracked the windshield makes me feel like asking Fionn Something's in my bloodstream and I think it rhymes with "frisky" And something's just a mile down the road Chorus: A mile down the road, oh, a mile down the road It'll all be better just a mile down the road Gonna pull this car right over gonna see my love unload When I pull up to your porch just a mile down the road Something's between you and me as hard as a jersey wall Something's in the way, my dear, I'm seeing double yellow lines and all Something's in my rear-view mirror flashing red-and-blue flash lights Looks like I might be spending the night in the county jail tonight Chorus: A mile down the road, oh, a mile down the road It'll all be better just a mile down the road Gonna pull this car right over gonna see my love unload When I pull up to your porch just a mile down the road

MAY THE GOOD LAND This life, it ain't no garden Tended by the hired hands It's a dirty knuckle dug by the roots, friend It's a fall upon a feral loving land Got possums blind that bite yr face off Got snakes wiggle through your toes Got kids running down to the river over yonder Bare their innocence in a trail of hand-me down clothes There's a worldly tree that grows in the forest Untended by human hands It rises in the rain in branches shaped like smiles Brings the wisdom of the pain Let the rain come down Let the rain come down Let the rain come down Let the rain come down Let the rain be strong and wicked May the waters see the old trees blessed May the ground soak equally water and blood So be it, good land behest

HEAVY DRINKING LADY First time I met you I was drunk as a skunk Second time I met you, you threw up in my trunk We was made for one another (made for one another) We was made for one another (made for one another) Heavy drinking lady, meet your heavy drinking beau Stopped in to buy just a bottle of rum, Didn't even see when you pulled your gun We was made for one another (made for one another) We was made for one another (made for one another) Heavy drinking lady, I'm your heavy drinking beau The cops blockaded the parking lot The clerk woulda called 'em off if the clerk weren't shot We was made for one another (made for one another) We was made for one another (made for one another) Heavy drinking lady, I'm your heavy drinking beau All barricaded in a liquor store Some folks seek a fortune, but I couldn't want much more We was made for one another (made for one another) We was made for one another (made for one another) Heavy drinking lady, I'm your heavy drinking beau Pretty sure it was bout quarter of two Too drunk to see when the cops put the bullets in you We was made for one another (made for one another) We was made for one another (made for one another) Heavy drinking lady, I'm your heavy drinking beau
