Wrong Side of the Road lyrics

Put a dead cat on the railroad tracks

When the wolf-bane's blooming by the tressel

And get the eyeball of a rooster

And the stones from a ditch

And wash 'em down with bilge water

And say you'll never snitch

Take the buttons from a yellow jacket

The feather from a buzzard

The blood from a bounty hunter's cold black heart

Catch the tears of a widow in a thimble made of glass

Tell your mama and your papa they can kiss your ass

Poison all the water in the wishin' well

And hang all them scarecrows from a Sycamore tree

Burn down all them honeymoons, put em in a pillow case

Wait next to the switch blades at the amusement park for me

Strangle all the Christmas carols, scratch out all the prayers

Tie em up with barbed wire and push em down the stairs

And I'll whittle you a pistol for keepin' nightmares off your blinds

Them sons of bitches always seem to sneak up from behind

Siphon all the gas from your daddy's pickup truck

Fill up Johnny's T-bird, I got a couple of bucks

Put on a little perfume and wear a ribbon in your hair

Careful that you don't wake up the hounds

Tear a bolt of lightning from the side of the sky

Throw it in the cedar chest, if you want I'll tell you why

Bring me the gear shift knob from a 49 Merc

Lie down here beside me, let me hold you in the dirt

And you're gonna tremble

Tear the throat out of the night

Sink your teeth into my shoulder

Dig your nails into my back

Tell that little girl to let go of my sleeve

You'll be a woman when I catch you come baby fall in love with me

Then with my double barrel shotgun and a whole box of shells

We'll celebrate the fourth of July

We'll do 100 miles an hour spending someone else's dough

We'll drive all the way to Reno

On the wrong side of the road

The wrong side of the road

On the wrong side of the road

The wrong side of the road

Wrong side of the road

Wrong side of the road

Hey baby
