Merritville

Matthew with the pug nose

Caught me with his sister in the wheatfield

Got a couple buddies

Tied me up and threw me in his oldsmobile

I said "matthew are you crazy?"

As he started closing in for the kill

Matthew slowed the olds to 10

Left me here to die in merrittville

There's a game they play in the summertime

There's a game they play when it's hot outside

And I wonder why

They left me here in merrittville

Sally with the narrow hips

Cut the rope and said that she could clear my head

She led me to the dirt path

All the way back to her daddy's shed

I said, "sally who'd believe

That we'd have to come so far for a thrill."

Sally let me go that night

Weak, tired and spent in merrittville

William with the holy book

Stopped me as I stumbled down the road today

He said "get on your knees, boy.

It's time you learned the right way to pray"

I said "william, I had no idea

That the lord had such a will

William drove his point across

And left me here to burn in merrittville
