BILLY JOE SHAVER - MY DREAMS ARE ALL DEAD AND BURIED

      D                                  G
She sauntered up to my house trick-or-treatin'
 D                             A
Hottest little witch I’d ever seen
 D                          G
How was I to know she was eleven
    D                     A               G
I thought this land was free from sea to sea

She looked at least 15
No child left behind

   D                              G
I gave all my best years to that woman
D                                 A
All she gave to me was mouths to feed
   D                                  G
A miracle straight from the loins of jesus
        D          A                  G
Since Charlie blew off both of my testes

   D                         G
My oldest son was born an albino
     D                         A
My youngest son is covered in hair
     D                          G
The middle one says he's a homosexual
    D              A                  G
The other seven's gone I don't know where
And I don't care
I just don't care

     D                          G
She run off and took our only chicken
         D                                 A
When I broke jail the house was burnt and bare
     D                             G
The Japs moved the plant back to Osaki
      D              A               G
Some days life just don't seem that fair

     D                     G
Somehow I got spinal meningitis
   D                                 A
Injecting all that hairspray in my spine
      D                               G
It’s a super cheap way to party
       D                  A                   G
If you aim to kill some brain cells and some time

D                                G
Get your yankee ass off of my property
       D                             A
Don’t care if the bank gave you the deed
      D                               G
This farm’s been Cuyler land for generations
          D               A         G
Since we beat back them sneaky Japanese

     D                      G
My dreams are all dead and buried
     D                                  A
Sometimes I wish the sun would just explode
      D                              G
When God comes and calls me to His Kingdom
          D               A              G
I'll take all you sons a bitches when I go!
             A               D
Aaa ddeee leeeyy aaaaeee ooooo.
