West Texas Degenerate
Sam Canty
She woke me in the morning
As she slammed my trailer door
She said I knew that it was coming
You've been running with that whore
As I stared at my new girlfriend
Wearing nothing but my shirt
I hit the bottle one more time
And went to work
And be a West Texas Degenerate
Oh well, I'm a West Texas Degenerate
Laying pipe down in the desert
Hell I'm living the damn dream
In my lifted diesel
Lincoln Black-face
Welding rig machine
'Til the boss man sent me home
Casue I had liquor on my breath
I need a steady hand to pass the x-ray test
Gonna be a West Texas Degenerate
Oh if it wasn't for the money
I'd be dragging up my shit
And I've been burning rods
And burning checks
And burning candles at both ends
To be a West Texas Degenerate
Oh yes, I am
Well I'm headed to Odessa
Guess today is my last day
I'm gonna go watch my new girlfriend dance
At the Rick's Cabaret
And if I should spend my night inside the Ector county jail
She'll prob'ly pay my bail with all one dollar bills
She's a West Texas Degenerate
Oh if it wasn't for the money
I'd be dragging up my shit
And I've been running lives
And running bead
And being all that I can be
To be a West Texas Degernate
Oh, yes I am
(lyric)William Clark Green
This life it ain't for everyone
Out in the wild west
(lyric) Both
You learn to fuck and fight and lay some pipe
Get drunk and go to bed
And if you just can't find sleep between the party and the pain
Sam Canty
Well you can stay up till the sunrise with the help of some cocaine
Yeah, I've got the good cocaine
Cause I'm a West Texas Degenerate
(lyric) Both
Oh if it wasn't for the money
I'd be dragging up my shit
And I've been burning rods
And burning checks
And burning candles at both ends
To be a West Texas Degernate
Oh, I'm a West Texas Degenerate
Yea, good old West Texas Degenerate
Oh, yes I am (x2)
Oh, yes I a-am
