If his patience had it's way with that lie I caught him
Would they send him back to Texas
weathered face and crooked grin
Where they sing, "EE. " Oh!

Drives up to the next seat and onto the roots
Drinking up the village
And, drinking a little more
EE. Oh!

Found you the bed with a hammer by your side
Sleeping out the day
Well, it's pounding on your head
Where they sing, "EE. " Oh!

There's movement in the air
Just above the neck
Bodies overturned
And its been like this for days
Well, they sing, "EE. "
Oh!

Bring him back, motherfucker
Bring him back, motherfucker
Bring him back, motherfucker
To the door, motherfucker
(Oh lord, where'd you go)

If the devil had his way, would that lie come in?
Would they send you back
Send you back
Send you back?
