this one will whammy your earlobes..

lyrics

Well it was back sometime around ’62, we met in a time of war
You were so afraid those days and I had what you were looking for
Someone to stand behind to help keep your nose clean
Cause you just weren’t built to fight, but I was hard and mean

It was during the closing days, we came across this town
I remember you said with conviction “this is where I’ll settle down.”
We served it out, we got our papers and we rode right back in
You met Clara, and I met Janine, and we were set to win.


O the land was so good to us
Till it dried right up and we were beaten down by dust
I took a job down the track, to keep from goin’ bust
And I left you behind with Janine and all my trust.


I would work away, 3 months 8 days, and then back to my homestead
I’d see your face and I’d see Janine’s and there were shadows on your heads
And Clara, she seemed devoid; her face was full of doubt
She packed her bags, she mowed you down, and she walked right on out.

And the people there, all around, began to whisper in my ear
So I lessened my time before I was back down the line and I saw all of my fears
In the house that I built with my hands, I came across the scene.
It was you, a man who owes me his life, that was laying with my Janine


I won’t be away anymore
Cause I know that you have been knocking around my door
After everything I’ve done for you
You pierced my heart, all the way through.
