SWAMPERS AT FAME
I want the swampers at fame, but I’ll settle for that laptop, boys
Caught in a hurricane, almost everything’s background noise
At night I ride the rails but I wake up tied to the track
And when those sad winds wail, I wake up a second time from that
I was a rodeo legend, 23 in ‘87 just a saddle bum
Now I’m a long, tall daddy riding south for Tallahassee on a cattle run
I drive a Maxima...
I want the swampers at fame, but I’ll settle for that laptop, boys
Caught in a hurricane, almost everything’s background noise
At night I ride the rails but I wake up tied to the track
And when those sad winds wail, I wake up a second time from that
You were a piss poor beauty in a thrift store, ooh we figured fuck ‘em all
Mariana to Missoula, everybody knew that you were just a wrecking ball
And only 5 foot tall…
I tried to take you away
Even though I knew you wouldn’t stay
Now I think about you every day
Wishing there was something I could say
I want the swampers at fame, but I’ll settle for that laptop, boys
Caught in a hurricane, almost everything’s background noise
At night I ride the rails but I wake up tied to the track
And when those sad winds wail, I wake up a second time from that
I never wanted any daughter but I love her more than anything I’ve ever loved
And now you’re headed for the border, hoping you can find the water of the seven doves
Conquistadores dug…
I want the swampers at fame, but I’ll settle for that laptop, boys
Caught in a hurricane, almost everything’s background noise
At night I ride the rails but I wake up tied to the track
And when those sad winds wail, I wake up a second time from that
I was a rodeo legend, 23 in ‘87 just a saddle bum
Now I’m a long, tall daddy riding south for Tallahassee on a cattle run
I drive a Maxima...
I want the swampers at fame, but I’ll settle for that laptop, boys
Caught in a hurricane, almost everything’s background noise
At night I ride the rails but I wake up tied to the track
And when those sad winds wail, I wake up a second time from that
You were a piss poor beauty in a thrift store, ooh we figured fuck ‘em all
Mariana to Missoula, everybody knew that you were just a wrecking ball
And only 5 foot tall…
I tried to take you away
Even though I knew you wouldn’t stay
Now I think about you every day
Wishing there was something I could say
I want the swampers at fame, but I’ll settle for that laptop, boys
Caught in a hurricane, almost everything’s background noise
At night I ride the rails but I wake up tied to the track
And when those sad winds wail, I wake up a second time from that
I never wanted any daughter but I love her more than anything I’ve ever loved
And now you’re headed for the border, hoping you can find the water of the seven doves
Conquistadores dug…
