Chainsaw Blues

V6

Pull that cord Pull it again Lord, she don't like mornings Hot sun burning Red dirt road Something screaming Behind my home Neighbors listening Curtains closed Nobody asking Nobody knows I got the chainsaw blues The chainsaw blues She screams when I hold her She screams when I choose I got the chainsaw blues All afternoon Something's coming down And it's coming down soon Got teeth shining Got oil on my hands Fresh-cut tracks All across the land Old man Johnson Saw what I done Dropped his coffee Started to run I said, "Come back, Johnson! You want some too?" He said, "Hell no, son. I've seen what you do." I got the chainsaw blues The chainsaw blues She screams when I hold her She screams when I choose I got the chainsaw blues All afternoon Something's coming down And it's coming down soon What? It's a tree. What the hell did you think it was?
