Scraping Dixie 歌词

I heard he was scraping dixie Looking for a job Looking for some work to get him by Steering clear of all the jails He was skinny as a rail And his face would hardly move from day to day His face would hardly move from day to day Chorus: Don't you set your mouth on me Don't you set your mouth on me Don't you set your mouth and jump salty as the sea Even though she was the one Even so I'll overcome Don't you set your mouth on me like I belonged He learned to cook short order Was a pour man in a bar And a bubble dancer till his face got steamed And I know that he was bugged Dishing out those slops and slugs He said that grease got all up in his dreams Bridge: A VFW from somewhere With the 1000 yard stare The VA kept him hanging on a line His disability was pending I'd get these scribes that he was sending He'd be scraping by till the weather warmed this way Scraping dixie till the weather warmed this way He said he'd be scraping dixie Maybe Carolina way Looking for some cash to pass him through Well what you gonna do We all have to line the flue But I'll fight untill they put that tree suit on I'll be fighting till they put that tree suit on Chorus
