đ” âMe and My Sock Puppet Bluesâ đ” (Verse 1) I was sittinâ on the floor by a cracked old wall, Bottle on the nightstand, hearinâ trouble call. Got a flannel shirt and a busted-up shoe, But it ainât me Iâm fightinââitâs my puppet too. (Chorus) Oh, me and my sock puppet, shoutinâ at the moon, He got them button eyes starinâ, singinâ outta tune. He says Iâm the crazy one, but I know it ainât true, Still Iâm losinâ every argument with wool and Elmerâs glue. (Verse 2) He got stripes on his arms and a smile too wide, Hair stickinâ out like a haystack on fire. I scream, he screams, and the neighbors just stare, Two fools in a bedroom fightinâ hot summer air. (Chorus) Yeah, me and my sock puppet, locked in a feud, He got them wild eyes rollinâ, chewinâ on my mood. I pour another whiskey, but he wants one too, And I swear this cotton devil knows just what to do. (Bridge) Some men lose their women, some lose their way, I just lost my mind to yarn and felt today. If I wind up in the county with a one-way view, Tell âem it was that puppetâhe made me do what I do. (Final Chorus) Me and my sock puppet, singinâ down the blues, Heâs strumminâ on my soul with them ragged olâ cues. A man and his demon, stitched in black and blue, Lord, I never thought my biggest fight Would be with a sock and glue.
