Rattlesnakes Lyrics - Boland Jason

I had the blues so bad one time, I hated my whole life 

I walked around with my head hung down in shame 

All I saw were clouded skies, I could not find the light 

And I told myself that woman was to blame 

Well it all seems so different now, as it did when I was a child 

When I could not see the dangers in some things 

Man plans on livin' very long, he best learn some respect 

For those rattlesnakes, painted ladies, and cocaine 

There's lots of things in this whole world, bring a poor boy down 

If you lead me you can save yourself some pain 

You don't have to live in fear, but you better learn some respect 

For those rattlesnakes, painted ladies, and cocaine 

Well only a natural fool would take a rattlesnake to bed 

But that rattler, he'll warn you before he strikes 

And cocaine will sneak up on you, and pretend to be a friend 

It'll be more deadly that that vipers bite 

The painted lady, she'll come to you, when you're all alone 

She seems to bring some comfort to the night 

It's when you come to depend on her, well she'll be up and gone 

And then you'll know what dying slow feels like 

There's lots of things in this whole world, bring a poor boy down 

If you lead me you can save yourself some pain 

You don't have to live in fear, but you better learn some respect 

For those rattlesnakes, painted ladies, and cocaine 

These are just a few examples, the list goes on and on 

A million things that could drive a man insane 

You don't have to live in fear, but keep an open eye 

For those rattlesnakes, painted ladies, and cocaine 

For those rattlesnakes, painted ladies, and cocaine 

For those rattlesnakes, painted ladies, and cocaine
