about

A cautionary tale about the perils of Snuff...

lyrics

VERSE 1:
Been ramblin' ever since I learnt how to stand
Through dusty towns and dusty bars across the Rio Grand'
Searchin' high and low, tryin' to find my kin
To find out why I gots a taste for cigarettes and heroin

Had a sniff or two of cocaine, crystal meth and PCP
Et up some psilocybin with a drop of LSD
Always did I wonder why it tastes so good to me
That carved out apple don't fall far from the family tree

CHORUS:
Well, the moonshine is burning through the bottom of the jar
Load up my baby bottle with a can of P.B.R.
He's howlin' like a coyote at the busted T.V. set
He's my snuff-addled granddad, what the heck do you expect?

VERSE 2:
Not much of a drinker, just have a little sip
Some whiskey in my coffee, and a pinch of black tar dip
Have six or seven lunchtime beers, just to wet my lips
Shine for supper and four nightcaps, I reckon that's just about it

Well a hand or two of poker never did me any harm
Throwin' dice in the back alleys, it has a certain charm
Some roulette, craps and slot machines to pass the time away
But if my bookie comes a lookin', tell 'em I moved to Paraguay

CHORUS:
Well, the moonshine is burning through the bottom of the jar
Load up my baby bottle with a can of P.B.R.
He's howlin' like a coyote at the busted T.V. set
He's my snuff-addled granddad, what the heck do you expect?

VERSE 3
My dear old grandmammy told me:
"When your pappy went to jail an your mama passed away,
we did our best to raise you in a moral and Christian way
Well your granddad tried that evil snuff, and the rest is history
Now I'm due back at the whorehouse, 'cause Oxycontin don't come for free

CHORUS:
Well, the moonshine is burning through the bottom of the jar
Load up my baby bottle with a can of P.B.R.
He's howlin' like a coyote at the busted T.V. set
He's my snuff-addled granddad, what the heck do you expect?
He's my snuff-addled granddad, what the heck do you expect?
He's my snuff-addled granddad, what the heck do you expect?
