I got a Zippo lighter in my Woolrich shirt
And a one-hit pipe blacker than the dirt
It's good to feel my boots on this cabin floor
And hear the screech of an old screen door
Think I'll head to the water and clear my head
If Heaven ain't here don't let me wind up dead
Billy's waitin' down there with a coffee cup
Sit down on the bank and we light one up
Down the creek, there's two old buddies laughin
Down the creek, just old friends reminiscing
Like a tree, we all need a little root, rain, and sun
Don't you bother me 'til my healing's done
Billy's behind on his child support
Says he'll pay 'em off before they haul his ass to court
And, me, I got nothin' on my list
Don't think it's gonna get no better than this
'Cause down the creek, there's two old buddies laughin
Down the creek, just old friends reminiscing
Like a tree, we all need a little root, rain, and sun
Don't you bother me 'til my healing's done
Just real faint outta my right ear
I hear a hoof on a leaf it's a herd of deer
Ain't legal 'til tomorrow when the hunt's begun
We'll have meat in the freezer 'fore the weekend comes
Down the creek, there's two old buddies laughin
Down the creek, just old friends reminiscing
Like a tree, we all need a little root, rain, and sun
Don't you bother me 'til my healing's done
