The Accidental Troubadour

She left the city with  Connie and Gerald she’d never go back  cause he treated her so terrible She needed purpose  she needed to matter  Connie was a box of ashes that she was destined to scatter A prosthetic leg was  what she called Gerald She thought it was a sign  that her future had heralded If her tomorrow begins  with the first step  she’s halfway there  with this one prosthetic leg He had hit her  one last time  Now she was Leaving it all behind Come on y’all  she said to the pair We’re going far  far away from here With a tear stained face  she finally got away Connie and Gerald  showed her the way Fuck your traditions  and fuck your Christmas Carol I’ve got all that I need  I’ve got Connie and Gerald

Poor country kid needed cash  so he agreed to be the mule They said no matter what you do never use  cause that’s the golden rule All it took was just one time  and he was hooked for life But He’s not the only one who has to pay  the mother fucking price Space Donkey he’s a little wonky And his eyes are bugging out Talkin 90 to nothin, and he’s twitching around and foaming out the mouth  He’ll start a sentence  but never finish  and he makes  no sense at all With racing thoughts  And no inhibition  he throws everything at the wall All it took was just one time  and it controls his life But He’s not the only one who has to pay  with his mother fucking life The space donkey who’s a little wonky  tried to turn it around But it went bad and it turned sad and he hauled ass out of town Gonna start fresh gonna start new  Gonna leave it all behind In a new place with all new people  kind of like hitting rewind Then somet...

She wasn’t pretty but She was clever and she was witty - She Was his second choice  His second choice  Her sister so fair  With locks of golden hair Caught his eye from the start And that broke the poor girls heart  A tenacious girl living large in her very own world She thought she ran the court There was a change and the church had a new name His life was a wreck redemption meant a sword to her neck But that’s not why she’s dead He lost his mind so she lost her head She couldn’t give him his only need  all she did was bleed and bleed 

I ain’t your property and  I ain’t your bitch  You treated me like a scratch  You just had to itch You felt so comfortable  Doing what you wanted  Now I’ve spent my lifetime  Feeling so fucking haunted In the ravages of war  Shit goes down  It never bothered you  But I’ve ran from town to town  You passed me around  Just like a lazy Susan  No wonder I’ve spent a lifetime  Mother Fucking using But I wasn’t a whore  And you weren’t a pimp  There was no cash involved  I was just your gimp But I wasn’t your property  I wasn’t your bitch  I was just a scratch  That you had to itch
