lyrics

You can spend your whole dreaming
You can spend your whole life calling
You can spend your whole life cussing, but you'll never make it so
You can spend your life there up stream
I'mma spend my life here downstream
Because in life I have no paddle, and you always reap what you sew

So while you neglect your fields I'mma keep on pickin' posies to lay upon your old decrepit bones

Well those train tacks keep on singing
And that boxcars where I'm sleeping
And the whistle outsde's blowin' while my body's cold as stone
Yeah I'm halfway down this 40 as my body continues westward, but these wayward tracks won't carry me back, until they carry me on towards home

And when I get there in that gutter's where the bottle will be a passing, as those light a keep on flashin' red and blue

So keep on whistlin' your Dixie
I'mma keep on drikin' whiskey
Because at the end of the day I'll be in my grave underneath this old headstone

The sun is still a shinin'
And reflecting of those waters
Which resembles the golden liquid in this bottle of Jim Beam
Well I used to be a good boy
But it wasn't a life I enjoyed
So I took advice and started living life with a pocket full of dreams

And even though I still get lonely, and I smell just like a trash can, thge whole entire world can hate me but I still love who I am

So keep on whistlin' your dixie
I'mma keep on drikin' whiskey

[Because at the end of the day I'll be in my grave underneath this old headstone] X2

Dirty Harry Miami, Florida

My name is Dirty Harry, and I love music, mainly all sorts of it. I'm in another band with a really rad dude named Patrick the Pirate (look him up here on bandcamp for our 2 splits). You can find it here on bandcamp just type in Dirty Pirates.
