Firewater - Snake-Eyes and Boxcars Lyrics

Daddy was a dirty fighting man

He walked tall with his money in his shoe

With a left and a right

And a sonny say goodnight

Eyes were a cold steel blue



Momma went down like a ton of coal

Shared her bed with anyone who dared

Wash your hands

Take it like a man

Never let em know your scared

Never let em know your scared



Oh, what shall we do with the drunken failure?

Shanghai the bastard to Australia

If we never see you again

Buddy that'll be too soon

Everybody knows that the odds ain't even

Show me a god that's worth believing

Better place your bets cause the boat is leaving

Underneath an eastern moon

Underneath an eastern moon



Sissy had a thing for contraband

Nose to the grindstone

Finger in the pie

No way out

Give the kid a clout

Drowned her in a pint of rye



Brother was a drunken gambling man

Rolled his dice and always played the fool

Roll 'em high

Sock 'em in the eye

Beat him like a rented mule

Beat him like a rented mule



Oh, what shall we do with the drunken failure?

Shanghai the bastard to Australia

If we never see you again

Buddy that'll be too soon

Everybody knows that the odds ain't even

Show me a god that's worth believing

Better place your bets cause the boat is leaving

Underneath an eastern moon

Underneath an eastern moon



(repeat 1)
