Town Rat Heathen Lyrics

Gettin' drunk by the figure eight

Figure one more beer oughta set me straight

Young and carefree as a boy could be

Whiskey, smokes, and LSD

Railroad tracks run along the creek

Walk 'em up and down in the summer heat

Same ol' boy changing like the seasons

Country kid turned into a town rat heathen

Country kid turned into a town rat heathen

Daddy's in jail for a DUI

Brother's in rehab a second time

Fucked up on salts and spices of all kinds

Legal drugs doing double damage to your mind

There must be greater forces at play

Too big to see and impossible say

No one alive makes it out unscathed

Aches and scars

Hey aches and scars

Hey aches and scars

Hey aches and scars

Now I think we're even

Country kid turned into a town rat heathen

Gettin' high by the covered bridge

Granny find out gonna flip her lid

Never did go to a high school dance

I was in love with a bad romance

Now I'm twenty eight with these aches and pains

Pray to the devil now with each complaint

No one alive makes it out unscathed

Aches and scars

Hey aches and scars

Hey aches and scars

Hey aches and scars

Aches and scars

Hey aches and scars

Hey aches and scars

Hey aches and scars

Now I think we're even

Country kid turned into a town rat heathen

Country kid turned into a town rat heathen

Country kid turned into a town rat heathen
