Well now, early one day, I was on my way To my favorite fishin' hole. I was think I could sure use Another bottle of booze And my baits a runnin' a little low, Yeah and a box of twelve gauge Would be all the rage When I'm all liquored up and I'm feelin' good Well, just up the road There's a place called Bubba's, Man he's got the goods And the sign says, beer bait and ammo, Yeah they got everything in between They got anything any old beer-drinkin', Hell-raisin, bonified redneck needs They got your fishin' hooks, They got your dirty books, They got your Rebel Flag on the wall, The sign says beer, bait, and ammo, yeah you ask me they've got it all. Well when I walked in I couldn't even begin To describe just a what I smelled. Lord was it the catfish bait, Or something Bubba had ate, Or was it them pickled eggs on the shelf With a toothless grin, He said so step on in And make yourself right at home And I said no thank you man Just a twelve pack of cans And I'll be good to go And the sign says, beer bait and ammo, Yeah they got everything in between They got anything any old beer-drinkin', Hell-raisin, bonified redneck needs They got your fishin' hooks, They got your dirty books, They got your Rebel Flag on the wall, The sign says beer, bait, and ammo, yeah you ask me they've got it all. Yes they do! And the sign says, beer bait and ammo, Yeah they got everything in between They got anything any old beer-drinkin', Hell-raisin, bonified redneck needs They got your fishin' hooks, They got your dirty books, They got your Rebel Flag on the wall, The sign says beer, bait, and ammo, yeah you ask me they've got it all. Walk it! The sign says beer bait and ammo yeah, you ask me they've got it all!

God doesn't love you God doesn't care You lie on the slab with blood in your hair And the voices of angels are flat and austere Well, that's what you get if you don't book Musicians and beer You stand on the vanquished Your feet on their chests Posing like starlets In bulletproof vests Your wife doesn't love you She's sick of the fear Sick of living without Musicians and beer So lock up your daughters Shit, you already did At least Muddy Waters can't fuck with your kids I'm an avid blasphemer with a passion for queer 'Cause I can't live without musicians and beer My granddaddy's Bible, so brooding and black Lies like a tombstone on my own daddy's back And we lowered him down without a tear So he died like a pauper Without musicians and beer So this is an order Get yourself some Musicians and beer

I ain't nothin' but beer and bones Honey since I lost you I ain't ate a bite Since the night That you said we're through I walked to that jukebox to play A few sad country songs I heard someone say Hey that old boy Ain't nothin' but beer and bones I got to work this morning Early this afternoon Yeah my boss man nudged me Said son I need to talk to you You used to make me money But lately I been taking a loss Well he smelled my breath Gave me what was left Of the day off I ain't nothin' but beer and bones Honey since I lost you I ain't ate a bite Since the night That you said we're through I walked to that jukebox to play A few sad country songs I heard someone say Hey that old boy Ain't nothin' but beer and bones Well I wish I could go home And rest my weary head But I know I'll just stay here And have another beer instead That little waitress asked me Honey could you use some help I said I thank you miss I'll have to get through this By my dang self I ain't nothin' but beer and bones Honey since I lost you I ain't ate a bite Since the night That you said we're through I walked to that jukebox to play A few sad country songs I heard someone say Hey that old boy Ain't nothin' but beer and bones I heard someone say Hey that old boy Ain't nothin' but beer and bones

You found me all alone You helped me build a home I had tried before Couldn't pick myself off of the floor And then you came Whispered my name You found me You found me in a dream Tangled, lost at sea I had tried before Always found myself looking for more But then you came Whispered my name You found me You found me all alone You helped me build a home I had tried before Couldn't pick myself off of the floor And then you came Whispered my name You found me

I tried to be happy i tried to be free I tried to accept you accepting me And i tried to escape the fate awaiting me And take times loose from my neck so i can breathe And this could be Just for fun, just for kicks Cause i've had one too many drinks And this heart cannot be fixed Cause i follow fear like faith And i'll dig until the day my life is saved My life is saved Saved Well i played up my virtue and hid my vice I'd only show you naughty if you first showed me nice Cause i thought i knew what a woman's work was I kept from view what you wanted most It was fun playing god And this could be Just for fun, just for kicks Cause i've had one too many drinks And this heart cannot be fixed Cause i follow fear like faith And i'll dig until the day my life is saved My life is saved Saved And this could be Just for fun, just for kicks Cause i've had one too many drinks And this heart cannot be fixed Cause i follow fear like faith And i'll dig until the day my life is saved My life is saved Saved Cause i follow fear like faith And i'll dig until the day my life is saved My life is saved Saved

We meet at the Broken Spoke Restaurant and Lounge I lit your cigarette then you wrote your number down. On the inside of a matchbook that was laying on the bar And a fire started burning somewhere in my heart I didn't see it coming, guess I didn't read the signs I just never thought you'd leave me after all this time. But today when I came home my key was hollow in the door And there was nothing but a worn out book of matches on the floor You took the bed; you took the dishes and the car And you broke my trust and you took advantage of my heart And you left me here with empty rooms and walls with holes, scars and scratches, If I find the strength to burn your memory down At least you left the matches. The color is old and faded; the cover's worn and stained I can still make out the numbers and the heart beside your name Until tonight they'd only lit a single cigarette Now one by one I'm striking them to help me to forget And everybody at the broken spoke They all thought my crazy story was a joke Now they're all out in the parking lot Staring at the smoke You took the bed; you took the dishes and the car And you broke my trust and you took advantage of my heart And you left me here with empty rooms of walls and holes, scars and scratches Now I found the strength to burn your memory down At least you left the matches. Baby all that's left of our love now is ashes Thank god you left the matches
