lyrics

Now that he can stay
she don't want him that way
when the ghost's are out of your home
Don't you feel so all alone
So you warm yourself by the fire
Soon the fire's too damn hot
That's why I'm moving out west
Be faithful to your mistress
I don't know how you deal with it
All the demons taking licks
That's why I miss being a kid
With a six shooter on my hip

Now Julian takes my paychecks so I, can't go and see my girl
But I got plans of taking Julian's whole world

Now that he can stay
She don't want him that way
Now that he can stay
She don't want him that way

She brought me flowers from the cemetery
Said they were meant for me
The stupid shit young people say
when they don't really know what they mean
And old people bummin' me out
They don't know when to shut their mouth
No, I'm all set on advice
I'm doing drugs and shooting dice
I miss my ghost's away from home
I built a gun with sticks and stones
All I wants a dog and a yard
Please stop making this hard

Now Julian takes my paychecks so I can, can't go and see my girl
But I got plans of taking Julian's whole world

Now that he can stay
She don't want him that way

(You guessed it, SHRED CITY, population: sweeeeeeeeet licks)

Now that he can stay
she don't want him that way
when the ghost's are out of your home
Don't you feel so alone?
So you warm yourself by the fire
Soon the fire's too damn hot
That's why I'm moving out west
With the girl that I love best
I don't know how you deal with it
All the demons taking licks
That's why I miss being a kid
With a six shooter on my hip

Now Julian takes my paychecks so I can't go and see my girl
I got plans of taking Julian's whole world

Now that he can stay
She don't want him that way

There is something familiar about this album - as if I listened to it when I was in high school, but that's impossible because it was over 30 years ago... stevew_890
