lyrics
Travis I guess was a pit boss, boys
At the tribal casino up the road
Caught his own son in a blackjack scam
Shot himself in his bathrobe
Boys! Boys, boys, boys
Gotta gimme more than that
(Boys, boys, boys)
Meet me out back, out back
Sleep sleep sleep in the river boys
Rest in the mossy green bed
Sleep sleep sleep in the river boys
Lay in the water till we’re dead
Lay in the water till we’re dead
Clay was like “Hey! will I ever get out
Of this bison and Wal-Mart town?”
He lit himself on fire in the post office
Officer, I dream of his mouth
Boys! Boys, boys, boys
Gotta gimme more than that
(Boys, boys, boys)
Meet me out back, out back
Sleep sleep sleep in the river boys
Rest in the mossy green bed
Sleep sleep sleep in the river boys
Lay in the water till we’re dead
Lay in the water till we’re dead
Please don’t cry for me boys, cry in your soft white beds
Please don’t cry for me boys, tell a joke to a stranger instead
Please don’t cry for me boys, the river always wanted to be red
Please don't cry for me boys, the river always wanted to be red
Sleep sleep sleep in the river boys
Rest in the mossy green bed
Sleep sleep sleep in the river boys
Lay in the water till we’re dead
Lay in the water till we’re dead
A great western countrypolitan record, and we especially love the song "86 Cadillac DeVille" because we are always thinking about face tattoos and pinky-ring working the wheel. Clementine Was Right
Dust off this existential classic that is like if Jonathan Richman were two people, a brother and a sister, and they were anxious scientists warding off the doom with jokes and harmonies. Clementine Was Right
