Lyrics
I know what you're thinking
right on time
tore through sheets, crossed the yard
to see it happen with my eyes
“ah he's alright he's fine”
Lucy grab that damn dog
come inside
the Thompsons won't be happy
their pigs lost an eye
He crossed that property line


Their boys and some buddies rolled by baby
bright lights on the kids, oh yeah
By rights, shot that dog and it died
And my wife, she ran down stairs and cried, “ah she’s alright she’s fine”,
junior ran out fists held up high

He went swinging with a young man's wiles
I saw him twirling and punching wild

Everybody’s asking, “where’d it go?”
Spent that whole night looking,
but treasure never showed,
and most nights that’s how it goes,
then he grabbed me by the scruff and pulled close

Light crimes with my buddies all night baby
Pale stone ‘neath the eyelid oh yeah
By night lost that mob and arrived
Yeah this life was all spun up in lies,
But I knew you there at first sight

We went working on your daddy’s mile, I saw you twirling it drove me wild
I came flying out that window trial, you saw me falling and hid that smile

[maxploughman]

this song is actually so absurdly incredible

[YourGoodTwin]

God I love the steel guitar. Can't wait for the full album.

[bilmatto]

I had accepted never hearing new music from you guys again but the fact that I’m hearing this right now makes me feel like I’m reconnecting with an old friend.

[neillaurenson]

That gear change at 2:41 is utterly heavenly and has brought me to tears. Good luck with the new album.
