lyrics

Gas men on radios in widow women's canyon
every bush has burrs and thorns, it's a maze of cattle guards
The wind sneaks through the pack rat holes, where Benito grinds his teeth
nightmare sweat and chiggers tear at his paper sleep

Oh, but you really gotta love it man
sittin' sidesaddle on the can
playin' hard in a kitchen band
You gotta laugh or be damned!

Seen every bad western this lonesome coal town has
fought over the easy chair, tore that damn thing in half
Eleven men and one woman in a tarpaper shack
any fool around this town can realize the math

Are you fine fine suede or the toughest leather ever made?
'Cause life is gonna rub you man, life is gonna rub you man

First one up is Dulce, she's got a lazy eye
she wakes me up with bacon and eggs and her green chili pie
She says life should be a simple thing, to build a house of mud and straw
we're pushin' up the canyon in the cold widow dawn
