razor-back woman

i still can remember pa coming home drunk

with the boys from the union hall station

and it's hard to believe all the words that i read

we are living in god's favourite nation

and i knew he was ill from the size of his pills

but he choked on the preacher's salvation

and i know that his blood it still flows in my veins

as i fall for each blue-eyed temptation

and the razorback woman who stood by his side

is skinny and fixing to die

oh the razorback woman is calling me home

and she cries

oh my god how she cries

i was only fourteen and my dad he was mean

when his face shined a river of sweat

oh

he started yelling you'll go straight to hell"
