Undone

Fire one up and you toss one down
Everybody knows you been downtown
Been downtown late last night
Busted your head in a barroom fight
FightinЂ™ with your brother fightinЂ™ with your wife
Seems you been fightinЂ™ every day of your life
CanЂ™t stand still, still canЂ™t run
You put it all together but it came undone
Your soul is junk, your brain is dust
All your memories are eaten up with rust
Your nightmares real, dreams too stark
You love the night but you hate the dark
Your mother your daddy little sister too
Told you a secret they were countinЂ™ on you
You were dying to tell but your dad said son
Button your lip but it come undone
So they turned you out when you turned them in
They told you donЂ™t come back again
Now the years stack up like old beer cans
Dead end jobs payment plans
Broke down trucks welfare checks
Child support and back-seat sex
YouЂ™d kill yourself but you hocked your gun
You built a noose but it come undone
So youЂ™re livinЂ™ in a shack bu you wanna be rich
And you would if it wasnЂ™t for the sonovabitch
The sonovabitch the dirty old whore
The butcher the baker the grocery store
You hate them they hate you
What in the world are you gonna do
It ainЂ™t your fault but they need someone
To blame it on when they come undone
Now the stormЂ™s cominЂ™ in the skyЂ™s turned black
ItЂ™s too late now you canЂ™t turn back
LightninЂ™ strikes on the telephone wire
YouЂ™re drunk as a skunk your shackЂ™s on fire
The wife took the baby and the other two kids
The dogs are a-howlinЂ™ and the chickens are dead
ItЂ™s your last night out and youЂ™re gonna have fun
TheyЂ™ll read it in the papers when you come undone
