Poachers Lyrics
[00:07.39] I ain't bad, I'm just lazy, and I ain't got around to it
[00:11.90] I shot it on Wednesday, and it's almost the next
[00:17.01] How long do I have to call it in and be legal
[00:21.42] Or is it sufficient if I honor my tags?
[00:26.62] I was askin' myself as I explained to Dylan
[00:30.80] The importance of havin' your license, you see
[00:35.90] 'Cause you never can tell when a warden will roll in
[00:40.57] They got more authority than the great God, I think
[00:45.76] I can hear 'em now talkin', ah, God, it is scandalous
[00:49.74] They were took in for poachin', they were both packin' heat
[00:55.21] They were crossin' state lines, they were drivin' a Caddy
[00:59.37] With a cab full of dogs and a trunk full of meat
[01:06.72] They'd think we were high, they'd say I was slippin'
[01:10.93] Trill told me 'bout somethin' that his buddies call lean
[01:16.44] It sounds like a drag, I like my drugs, methy
[01:20.45] But if I's runnin' with him, they'd suspect it of me
[01:25.81] I can hear 'em now talkin', ah, God, it is scandalous
[01:30.05] His Papaw'd be rollin', I don't know where he strayed
[01:35.48] I know that you'd know him, he's the one on the rad'ya
[01:39.63] He's the one with the vid'ya of the coal minin' gays
[01:43.10]
[02:04.76] I can hear 'em now talkin', ah, God, it is scandalous
[02:11.45] He could have been somethin' if he weren't such a mess
[02:16.69] If he hadn't went broke, God cancel him sideways
[02:20.92] We lost us another to the others, I guess
[02:28.16] I told Trill of a place where they took your belongings
[02:32.57] And they sold 'em at auction twice a year for the state
[02:37.75] They'd get a 32 North Star, some pistols, a cooler
[02:42.36] The weed would walk off, and the dogs they would take
[02:47.20] And if they couldn't relearn 'em, my God, it is scandalous
[02:51.67] They'd go to a shelter, they'd give 'em away
[02:57.23] A dog that's worth stacks, a one-in-a-million
[03:01.20] The pride of the kennel, McDowell Kennels' face
[03:08.57] I hope we keep all our dogs, I'm too busy for prison
[03:12.75] And if you get to squintin' in my own unique way
[03:18.02] I'm pretty enough that, God, it'd be scandalous
[03:22.50] I'm a miner at heart, so I'd dig out a way
[03:27.65] And I'd stand there like Dufresne, far enough from the searchlight
[03:31.81] And flip off you bastards in the sewage and rain
[03:37.27] I'd howl like a dog, I'd sound like a real one
[03:41.41] I'd burn like a candle and grin in your face
[03:48.66] I'd howl like a dog, I'd sound like a real one
[03:53.18] I'd burn like a candle and grin in your face
[04:01.69]
[00:11.90] I shot it on Wednesday, and it's almost the next
