Cuttin' Teeth

[00:17.99] He was spinnin' wheels, makin' deals
[00:21.93] Wild-eyed in his 20s
[00:26.12] With nothin' in the way of work he was ever fit to do
[00:33.17] It was for the birds, he worked with words
[00:37.22] The thing is, words work funny
[00:41.33] You weld 'em right, you know they're liable to affect the way you move
[00:49.14] Frontin' him, a country band
[00:52.73] A buncha rockin' barkin' deadbeats, man
[00:56.69] He played a gig with us one night
[01:00.49] When he was cuttin' teeth
[01:03.57]
[01:19.90] Hustle high, hustle low
[01:23.36] Hearken out that band window
[01:27.36] The price of gas is getting low
[01:30.53] In the pocket of the seat
[01:34.84] Of his pants, he has had tightenin' 'round his body
[01:42.64] Livin' off tavern's fare, drowning in the grease
[01:50.32] Frontin' him, a country band
[01:53.87] Roaddoggin' in a stripped-out van
[01:57.78] Bummin' powder in the bar light
[02:01.30] When they were cuttin' teeth
[02:04.55]
[02:22.74] You can yell, you can croon
[02:26.10] You can reach the fire code of any room
[02:30.17] With a catchy song or two, if they're sang in key
[02:37.86] There's room for error if the band is there
[02:41.47] In a way, it's 'bout like baseball
[02:45.37] He swings a bat left-handed
[02:49.13] He's gonna walk at least
[02:52.90] Frontin' him, a country band
[02:56.73] A buncha West Virginia deadbeats, man
[03:00.40] He split the door with us one night
[03:04.02] When he was cuttin' teeth
[03:08.33] He played a gig with us one night
[03:11.64] When he was cuttin' teeth
[03:15.14]
