lyrics

Homegrown in my pick up son
sisters brat and daddy's gun
double diamond barrel of fun
why every day’s a hit and run

nowhere near Afghanistan
our parents weren't in Vietnam
we don't need you to understand
we know we'll all be damned

Tuck and Roll
country boy
bounce on down the road like a hobbildehoy
stick around
and you'll drown
in smalltown eiderdown

and the house band plays

No free lunch boy
no free lunch today
the empty handed
just get turned away

no free lunch boy
no free lunch today
get real dirty
then make a clean getaway

This field of dreams
not what it seems
lying fallow at the feet of wind machines

by the scruff of your neck
by the skin of your teeth
hanging by your fingernails all week
you made the rent
the rest is spent
to hide it from the government

Tuck and Roll country boy
bounce on down the road like a hobbildehoy
stick around
and you'll drown
in smalltown eiderdown

and the house band plays

country boy
show me your hands
still digging ditches
still the family man

country boy
show me your hands
are they only fit
for building someone else’s masterplan

well I used to drive an ice cream van
spreading joy across this land
but I was trumped by a simpleton
who smiling handed me a loaded gun

tuck and roll
country boy
