Pickup Trucker

Drove 9 July, 2006

We always give a little money to Jamie
Because now she depends on us
Since her old man died when two county sheriffs
Fucked up a simple marijuana bust

Curtis cooks crystal in the barn out back
That he booby-trapped with Frank and me
He said, "They might storm in tryin' to shut us all down
But it isn't coming none too cheap."

What you think your life is worth around here
It's cheaper than you might expect
A sideways glance and about a hundred dollars
Nobody ever sees you again

My brother done two years parole in Lou'siana
He was always kinda hard and mean
They thought they had him for taking down a bank in Cotton Valley
But the witness never saw a thing

Now I wouldn't go messing with swamp bred people
They're tighter than the people you know
You might not see it but you'd best believe
That the law is just an inside joke

You're thinking, "That ain't the way we done it up north."
Well, it probably ain't, you know
Brother, did you notice this ain't "up north"?
Change comes around here real slow

I wouldn't shine light on the dirty little secrets
The people 'round here keep hid
Well, they might smile quickly but you'll find out why
Like that other young fella did

He was asking how Curtis made his living
Asking how Marty got by
Asking how a fella might find a little action
Well... I reckon he found it right

I wouldn't shine light on the dirty little secrets
The people 'round here keep hid
Well, they might smile quickly but you'll find out why
And you ain't gonna like it, kid
