lyrics

All that I remember is the smell of the barn
The dung and the denim coming in from the farm
A gap-tooth baby dancing in the straw, apple headed mama just
a dribblin’ a chaw
The slide and the shuffle and spit on the ground
Playing bluegrass music in a shithole town
Shithole town, shithole town playing bluegrass music in a shithole town

Next thing I can tell ya, next tune that I can play ya
Is at the Cowboy Palace down in Olathe
I'd rather be anyplace other than here,
a thousand dollar boot and a 3 dollar beer
The ghost of Sarah Carter is crying down,
Playing bad country music in a shithole town
Shithole town, shithole town playing bad country music in a shithole town

Yeah - yeah that's all I can remember, all I can remember
can't remember no more
Yeah - yeah that's all I can remember, all I can remember,
can't remember no more

I drank up the boom and a bottle of twang,
got my vaccination with a rusty E string
Traded my soul for one that worked
and I got us all a gig at the Lutheran Church
Singing John Wesley Harding as the rain came down
Playing rock'n'roll music in a shithole town
Shithole town, shithole town, playing rock'n’roll music in a shithole town

Baby you got the geetus, I got the nerve
Everybody’s just a looking for somebody to serve
Gonna play my harmonica until I wreck and that’s right about now
The last time that I checked
Honey here come the train, here comes the sound
Tonight we’re playing music in a shithole town
Shithole town, shithole town,
tonight we’re playing music in a shithole town
Shithole town, shithole town, playing rock n’roll music in a shithole town

Yeah - yeah that's all I can remember, all I can remember,
can't remember no more
Yeah - yeah that's all I can remember, all I can remember,
can't remember no more
