Pigeon Town

I live round the shack outback

It's full of rats and razorbacks

I get my knife and cut 'em down

You think I won't just stick around

Cornfed boys in gunnysacks

Digging holes and filling cracks

Souped up cars and monster trucks

Killing pigs and smoking dust

Don't ask me why...I'd hate to lie

I'm wasting time...hanging round in Pigeon Town

Cousin Johnny comes to play

I yell out just go away

We go down to the fishing hole

I grab his hand, he grabs his pole

He gets drunk and starts a fight

Looks for someone new to spite

I get mad, he starts to howl

I head right back down to the holler

It's no surprise...don't ask me why...he's doing time

somewhere South of Pigeon Town

I live round the shack outback

It's full of Vipers, Diamond backs

Nine miles South of Pigeon Town

Another bunch of Killer Clowns

I keep my door locked up real tight

Daddy sneaks in every night

I'll get my gun and shoot him down

You think I won't just stick around

Mamma never meant no harm

even when she broke my arm

she'd get drunk and start a fight

this happened almost every night....

Don't ask me why...It's no surprise

They had to die...to get away from Pigeon Town

Yeah and you can say all the shit you want to about blood

being thicker than water...It's thick alright...like mud...

that's just the way it is around here...lay of the land

and all that crap...Dog eat Doggie and you'll get a stick

in your eye every time just for trying...you go to bed with

the pigs...you wake up with the pigs...But hey I was born

around here...at least I had the smarts to get the hell out...

not that it matters where your from...it's all the same...

All one big busted-up broken down shit-shack in the middle of nowhere...

I'm heading out of Pigeon Town.
