Blue Mountain Home Grown Lyrics Bloody 98: Well I ride 400 horses trough a tunnel in the pines, Dead dogs, patchy fog it's hard to see the lines There's a cross at every curve to commorate. Drivin back from Mobile on bloody 98. I got a wife in Hattiesburg and a lover in Mobile. God knows I'm spending half my life behind the wheel. My pontiac is a panting horse, but I'm a running late. Drivin back from Mobile on bloody 98. Jackknife in the highway, 18 wheels up in the air. To late to hit my brakes, I'm already there. So now I'm just another restless haint who lost his way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Myrna Lee: Well She's the only one I get up for Go down to the station, she's a waiting there. Myrna Lee, I'm alone in this city. I saw a vision of Myra Lee, In a foggy dark window Myrna Lee, Like it used to be. Chorus: Your the only one I've waited for all this time. Myrna Lee, we're together, you and me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pretty Please: Way back down the river road where the squitos breed. A redhawk rides the high wind, high above the trees. Lazy Dog sleeps the day away, lougin in the shaaade. No other place I rather be, and there ain't no other pretty faces I'd rather see. I down on my knees crying pretty please. It's winter and the wind today is blowin round my ears. I been hangin around for so long now, I'm the last leaf on the tree. Hidin out in the headline's ???? Chorus: Feels like I wadin in the weeds. Searching the sky until my eyes begin to bleed. I'm down on my knees cryin pretty please. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Black Dog: I got a black dog by the name of Bill We lives in a shack on the top of the hill Sleeping all day, Howling all night Don't you monky with the puppy or you'll get youself a dog fight WellI don't know what I've been told Got a big black dog, got a whole lot of soul Running through a feild, lookin for a meal You better run and ride from the beagle and Big Bill A young rebel by the name of Frank Got himself a bottle and took a little drank Took a little drank, got a little drunk Got bit by the black dog, had to blow a big chunk A pretty young thing by the name of Katy Said it ain't no fun being Franky's old lady When he gets to drunk, acted like a punk Can't get it up and give her that sweet funk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Generic America: Some people want to tell me its fine. Spend your whole life waiting in a line. Well go ahead, join the living dead. I've got a different plan for mine. When the sun comes over the sea. I'll tell ya where I'm gonna be Ridin in the van with the rest of my band. The wheels singing in my dreams. Chorus: Please fogive me if I can't learn to live in Generic America Where the wavy fields got paved. The kids are out looking for a rave, and the rest of us sat on our big fat ass, watching the rose bowl parade. Oh why can't you see, I can't be me in your Generic America, don't want to live vicariously, in a virutal reality. Shopping malls and prison walls all look the same to me. So don't try to tell me its fine. don't try to tell me I'm wasting my time. Everybody line up, piss in a cup, you got to be out of your mind Cause I'll do it any way I choose All over your desginer shoes. Beware of the ruffian who ain't got nothing he ain't got nothing to loose. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Last words of Midnight Clyde: Well the barber shops a buzz all heads are waggin The girls upstairs peakin through the blinds The boys inspect the blood stains on the wagon Chorus: The last words of midight clyde, on the day the died So long boys, I'm a gonna make some noise, and if I take a dive, catch ya on the flipside. Ole' Swifty stands bewildered in the stable. The boys just spit and wittle all day long. His momma still lays a place at the dinner table. Chorus Ooohh, when the moon comes round, yeah. Still see it, reflected in his eyes. Deep and dark like the space around it. Chorus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Babe: I like the way you smile kinda shy and a little wild I come runnin from a country mile to see your smilin face And I like to hear you laugh spashing like a duck in you bubble bath Move it on over and let me get in the tub, and I scrub all you troubles away. Remember the night we met. As I recall we where both pretty lit You reached out and you plucked my string and it ringin still 7 years and its still a gas Alot of tears and alot of laughs Lets stay together for ever and ever, come on and say you will. Babe, Baaaabe I like the way you look and I like the things you cook Honey take the telephone of the hook We got other fish to fry Unplug the guitar turn off the amp and lets plug up the lava lamp Come over here and let me strach you back and sing you a lulubye And when your hair turns blue I wanna rock on the porch with you look athe kids they're wizzin bye lookin for a thrill god knows were not perfect yet one things for sure, I got no regrets Lets stay together for ever and ever, come on and say you will Babe, Baaaabe ------------------------------------------------------------------------
