lyrics

Never met a story, with so many holes,
See him lyin in the river grass with a fishin’ pole
Bottle of Bud, and a smoking bowl
It’s pick your poison, which one would you choose? I’d take anything but the Bucket Boy Blues

His wild kingdom, is way beyond compare,
rattlesnakes and alligators, even a grizzly bear
We could talk about the horses but then that wouldn’t be fair
He’d be a thousand years old if all his stories were true, I can’t imagine living with the Bucket Boy Blues

Went upstairs to look around, didn’t know what I would find, but Bucket Boy had been there first,
left his callin card behind
Makin tracks for the water hole while everybody is stayin late, just forty more pounds to go till he gets to gator-wrestlin’ weight

The cat came back, he didn’t like it on his own
You know he hates to ask you this but can he have a loan?
Says”I’ll pay you back when I win place and show”
Hey where’s he going with everybody’s tools? The best bet is his fast track to the Bucket Boy Blues

Did fumes get to him, inside his sleepin mind
? Or maybe its just the residue of what he left behind
His life sits at the bottom of a pail for everyone to find
I believe I’d end it all, if I were you, a bullet in the brain is a kinder fate than the Bucket Boy Blues
