Wrong Side Of The Road Lyrics - Used Songs (1973-1980) - Tom Waits

Put a dead cat on the railroad tracks 

Wolf bains blooming by the tressel 

Get the eyeball of a rooster 

Stones from a ditch 

Wash 'em down with bilge water 

Say you'll never snitch 

Take the buttons from a yellow jacket 

Feather from a buzzard 

Blood from the bounty hunters cold black heart 

Catch the tears of a widow 

In a thimble made of glass 

Tell your mama and your papa 

They can kiss your ass 

Poison all the water in the wishin' well 

Hang all them scarecrows from a sycamore tree 

Burn down them honeymoons 

Put 'em in a pillow case 

Wait next to the switch blades at the amusement park for me 

Strangle all the christmas carols 

Scratch out all you prayers 

Tie 'em up with barbed wire 

And push them down the stairs 

I'll whittle you a pistol 

Keepin' nightmares off your blinds 

Them sunsabitches always seem to sneak up from behind 

Syphon all the gas from your daddys pickup truck 

Fill up Jonny's T-Bird 

I got a couple bucks 

Put on little perfume and ribbon in your hair 

Careful that you don't wake up the hounds 

Tear a bolt of lightning 

Off the side of the sky 

Throw her in the cedar chest 

If you want me to tell you why 

Bring the gear shift knob from a 49 mere 

And lay down here beside me 

Let me hold you in the dirt 

Your gonna tremble 

Tear the throat out of the night 

Sink your teeth into my shoulder 

Dig your nails into my back 

Tell that little girl to let go of my sleeve 

You'll be a woman when I catch you 

C'mon baby, fall in love with me

With my double barrel shotgun 

A whole box of shells 

We'll celebrate the 4 of July 

We'll do 100mph 

Spendin' someone elses dough 

Drive all the way to Reno 

On the wrong side of the road 

Wrong side of the road 

On the wrong side of the road 

Wrong side of the road 

Wrong side of the road 

Wrong side of the road
