The Whistler Knows Best

lyrics

Another day of digging There must be a rat in the hole I make no progress This hard ground has got the digging slow Got the digging slow There’s just no promise when you go Bright green grass Burned yellow like I’m pissing gasoline In two weeks time Replace my leg with staples and string Staples and string The sound and lights smell so obscene But, I’ll wait around, like all the rest Hoping I don’t starve to death The whistler knows best Black in the muzzle Like my double barrel shotgun Just three years old But damn if I don’t feel that young I don’t feel that young Like I did when you up and run But, I’ll wait around, like all the rest Hoping I don’t draw my last breath The whistler knows best Be careful what you ask for Outside the shadow of the house It might not be flowers like it seems But dandelions and ditch weeds Dandelions and ditch weeds
