On My Gravestone

from Suck it Up, Cupcake by Dan Johnson

/

lyrics

It’s a Monday night and we’re drinking some ice cold beer
Sitting in the kitchen watching some rabbit ears
I wasn’t hurting nobody wasn’t committing no kind of sin
And I was sitting in the kitchen when they kicked the front door in
Now the doors full of holes and we’re watching some tv show
It’s a Tuesday night and the dark is sinking low
A bottle of gin and a couple six packs of beer
I wish to the lord I could get away from here

I want troublemaker on my gravestone
That’s the name that I got when I was born
This world ain’t going to hell I’m pretty sure that it’s already there
It’s a world of trouble and lord I have had my share

I’m a cooking up a batch in the back of my daddy’s shack
Way down at the end of a one lane track
I’ve got a feeling that I just can’t lose
But lord these lonesome woods will give a man the blues
There’s something in my mind that won’t lay down
I can put it to bed but it comes back around
The devil on my shoulder is digging holes in my heart
I’d tell you the truth but I wouldn’t know where to start
