Tails Facing Up Lyrics - Drive By Truckers

Me and my brother's old lady went out and got stinking, 

She solved her curiosities about me by the railroad tracks. 

She said I reminded her of him before he started drinking 

And banging the babysitter every time she turned her back. 

I we opened up the sunroof and smoked a big ole joint 

And drank a case of Pabst Blue Ribbon listening to the crickets and trains. 

Every so often she'd lapse into narcotic rambling. 

Moon and mascara. I've always been a holy terror. 

Temptations lurking every where. 

If your mind's in the gutter, Beware! 

You'll find me there. 

Me and a friend were talking after the funeral. 

She said it should have been me but I'm still around and I been so wild, 

I'm surprised I made it to the seventh grade, 

And all my dead friends have settled down. 

My eyes were puffy and she asked if I'd been crying. 

I said 'tears are for pussies' but who was I kidding. 

So we stopped at the bar and drank them dry. Beer and tequila. 

I've always been a thrill seeker. 

But thrills are a dime a dozen these days.
