SLACKEYE SLIM

Lyrics

If I could choose between a horse
With a coat of black or white
I would take the darkest one
Every single time

Yeah, I know there’s an ugliness
And I know that it’s in me
The trouble is I just don’t give a shit
Are you even listening

They used to say that I was lost
But I always knew where I was going
And when they told me I was wrong
I went and proved I knew what I was doing

Crooked teeth with a crooked smile
And a shameless disposition
I am the only motherfucker standing in this room
Who doesn’t need to be forgiven

Oh, I wonder, yes I wonder
When God picked up some old ball of shit
Did he know he was making a man

I never cared if it was nature or nurture
That made me out this way
‘Cause either way I looked at it
I found someone to blame

Like the time I insisted I’d bring the beer
Then I just brought enough for me
Put away them fucking board games
When you invite me for a drink

I gotta know, gotta know right now
Who are you to sit and judge me
How could you have ever been so cruel
You know my father never loved me

And when I lay me down at night
I can’t sleep for thinking about you
You know I’ll never forgive you
For what you’ve put me through

Oh I wonder, yes I wonder
When God picked up some old ball of shit
Did he know he was making a man
