Lyrics:
Donnie dug a hole.
His face as wearin’ thin like an old shoe sole.
Momma turned to dust.
She was on the train tracks waitin’ for the blood to rush.
And you told me I was stayin’ strong,
when all I’ve done is play along.
And they put it on, they put it on me.
Don’t put it on me.
**Maybe you’re not the person who caught the football.
(x4)
Mary on the pole.
Her faith was wearin’ thin like an old shoe sole.
Mary holdin’ tough.
She would fuck the preach
...er if he only paid enough.
And his ring is off and his button down,
And he tore it off and she tore around.
Put a bullet in and pull it on three.
Don’t pull it on me.
