Lyrics
Raised in Texas close to the border
Fingernails loose like a braised pork shoulder
He can sing
With a quivering jawbone
Shudder mouth soft touch he liked his women
Knife in hand. Killed pigs for a living
In his head
He is always carving
Slipknot blood clot caught by the fire
He stole each swine from within the hanger
He laid them down
Without their prayers
White bib blood bib hard day's work in
Undone cowboy dreaming of Christmas
To realize
You miss your mother
Shirt sweat pillowcase hard on toothache
Burned skin dirty hands round pin A.M.
It's in the heat
When you say you want her
Savior catfish cowboy Spaniard
Pig flu fingernail mind your manners
In the heat
He thinks of her often
