Re: DRH.146 - I Just Try to Be Good

Since the Pedro the Lion album feature is a concept album about a corrupt politician, I decided to post the lyrics here.




Slow and Steady Wins the Race
All the way to grandma's house
I stayed on the narrow path
But my brother wandered off
Deep into the woods
Bitten twice by rattle snakes
Tangled up in poison oak
He fell down and broke his legs
Into a great ravine
When I arrived at grandma's house
She made us tea and cake
She asked me where my brother was
I said I don't know and ate
When I get to heaven I'll be greeted warmly
Surrounded by angels
As Jesus takes my hand
I'll receive a mansion
On the river Jordan
And a crown of diamonds
For a race well run
I won't ever lock my doors
I will trust my neighbors
Confident that they deserve
To be there in heaven, too



Simple Economics
The volunteers were tired
Heads were hanging low
The news had spoiled their appetite
For stuffing envelopes
Twelve points was an awful lot
To be down in the polls
With only two weeks to go
Shouldering the phone
Loosening his tie
His running mate on pricks and pins
Hovering beside
The candidate wrote furiously
As if to save his life
Then hung up the phone
And spoke with great conviction
When you're nothing but a boyfriend
Dangling by a thread
Keep in mind the bottom line
Diamonds are a girl's best friend

Inches from the goal
One thing on his mind
To get behind her desk and make
Some big decisions
Power can be such a tease
You're always wanting more
It's good to know that just like sex
It can be paid for



To Protect the Family Name
Officer
Please don't haul me in
Though I'm drunk again
I can explain
I swear to you
For a week I have
Been completely dry
Until tonight
He's been such a good example
Everything he's done for me
I couldn't bear to let him down

Monday night
Brother sat me down
Very graciously
And explained
If I'm going to help you
I must make it very clear
Brother that I love you
But certainly I hate your sin
So you see you can't arrest me
I swore I'd be careful not to
Further shame the family name



A Mind of Her Own
Dear, unlock the door
You're acting like a child
When you've said it to yourself
We are at war
How dare you turn on me now
Right when I need you most
I wish I could have seen their faces
When they heard the news
Now that's the sort of smack
That leaves a bruise

The victory is ours at last
I beat them at their own dirty game
They pervert the words of godly men
For their own selfish gain
I took their wrong and I took their lies
And I made them right,
I made them right

Oh, look who it is
It's my supportive wife
And she thinks she's going to squeal
Hey where do you think you're going?
Don't you walk away from me
You put down that telephone
You're not calling anyone



Never Leave a Job Half Done
Blood stains on the carpet
Blood stains on my hands
Drag her toward the kitchen
Hide the evidence
Oh the toil a lie can bring
That quitters never know
But lies can be the perfect things
If they never show

The crisis posed a question
Just beneath the skin
The virtue in my veins reply
That quitters never win
She almost ruined everything



Eye on the Finish Line
Such an awful, tragic night
Though I've only done what's right
Even with my conscience clear
I can't help this flood of tears
I've got my eye on the finish line

Though I've been striving for their good
I will be misunderstood
Even my own darling dear
Misconstrued what was so clear

Given the time I think she would have understood
That it was for the greater good
Soon I will meet her at our mansion in the sky
Leaving this wicked world behind

It's strange that it should end this way
But martyrs never have a say



Bad Things to Such Good People
My dress shoes on
The well kept cemetery lawn
Both of them weeping
Their one good son now was gone
The irony to see my dad
Down on his knees
Crying out to Jesus,
"But, Lord, I've always done what's right"
And all the while the good Lord smiled
And looked the other way
And looked the other way

When we were kids
I did my best to make them proud
It just wasn't in me
I could not fly straight to save my life
And all the while the good Lord smiled
And looked the other way
And looked the other way

Their big success is now their biggest failure
Their golden child has been dethroned
Their reputation is now in ruins
Their tower to heaven has come tumbling down
And all the while the good Lord smiles
And looks the other way
And looks the other way


Winners Never Quit
If at first you don't succeed
Try, try again
If I were you I'd give up
The path is too narrow
The way is too steep

Save your applause
For the end of the show

Count it a blessing
That you're such a failure
Your second chance might
Never have come

In Mississippi, we dip cookies in milk, and tea is served sweet and cold.

In Mississippi, it's an alligator. Here's the recent record-breaking catch. Also note the Mississippi State shirt worn by our hero!

And I promise I won't release the alligators on you.
