Lyrics
Rabid Child
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Lord, please don't take me away.
Rabid child stays at home, talks on a CB
Truckers pass calling out their handles to the kid
Chess Piece Face and The Big Duluth call her every day
"Hammer down" and "rabbit ears" are the only words they know
Hammer down
Hammer down, rabbit ears
Hammer down, rabbit ears
Hammer down, rabbit ears, hammer down
If you pass the rabid child say "hammer down" for me
The rabid child
The rabid child
The rabid child
