[Instrumental intro] [Verse 1] Does your mind go and wander? Thinkin’ ‘bout the hidden things And all those empty spaces in between… Ain’t talkin’ ‘bout the Outback Ain’t talkin’ ‘bout the Badlands But somethin’ closer at hand [Verse 2] Enough of the intro I’ll take you where ya need to go Where my mind wandered Right into a lonesome kinda flow So… [Verse 3] Let’s go! Let’s go! It’s a helluva show, yeehaw! Well now!, my brain is full uh suffrin’ Don’t you go and smirk at me I’ll whip you out of Texas You grit-eatin’ needs-beatin’ thoughtless pip-squeak! It’s… Wait for it!… Wait for it!… C’mon! Headache! Backbreak! Outtake! Mistake! Heartache! [Verse 4] I’m gonna lay it on ya Yeah I’m gonna ‘splain to ya What this hullabaloo is all about. Think about blank space Or a downright vacant place Feelin’ like your soul’s erased. Pierced by her knife, Here’s my life: A dark damp spot An unrelenting rot Drunk in the canteen A ghost in the machine Lost in outer space A grim and distant place! [Pre-Chorus] Now I think you’ll get the point Unless you’re dumb as a cedar post So get ready for the big reveal! Well here we go! Here we go, yeehaw! [Chorus 1] I’m talkin’ ‘bout a girl, Lowdown girl Some say it shore don’t matter They don’t care or make no chatter ‘til they know ‘til they know ‘til they know [Instrumental break – electric guitar and pedal steel solo] [Bridge] How she put my life in tatters Turned my world into batter Go ask baby Jesus ‘Cause he sure as shoot knows How’d you like a hole in your head? A worm’s tunnel in your bread? A fist-cratered wall When your cheatin’ girl won’t call Or her boyfriend walks on by Pokes his finger in your pie! [Chorus 2] I’m talkin’ ‘bout that girl, Lowdown girl Some say it shore don’t matter They don’t care or make no chatter ‘til they know ‘til they know ‘til they know [Verse 5, subdued] She left a stab wound in my belly Poked it open I’m not steady I’m not ready I’ve been pleadin’ On my knees… [Chorus 3] I’m talkin’ ‘bout that girl! Lowdown girl! Some say it shore don’t matter They don’t care or make no chatter ‘til they know ‘til they know ‘til they know [Outro] Now I’m telling you! No matter what you do Get this in your head That girl can kill you...dead.
