Ballad Of Dusty lyrics

Ohhh...yeah, yeah...yea boy...look a here...

Man, I done ten more lines than Etch-A-Sketch in my time

better catch you fetchin` by nine; better blast your right mind

if soft makes you feel hard; hard makes you feel soft

got a fifty, a pack of cigarettes, a brew and a cough

and I`ve been doin` this stuff from often to off and on

I`ve been face down all alone in the rain in the early mornin`

next wife into alimony, it goes on and on and on it

dog-gone it I`ve been on it so long I`m my only opponent

should’ve know it, I know I had a ring but I had to pawn it

I had to hold it; I stole it off of the top of a toilet

from a friend, for my sins, fingerprints are in a folder

that the police holds; I get colder as I get older, y’all

I don’t want to live and I don’t want to die

I just have to laugh ‘cause I don’t want to cry

My mother left me alone and I never met my dad

I’ve been abnormal since birth tryin’ to wreck the pad

I’ve was raised by my Gramps since I was three years old

and all I ever wanted, was to be out of control

I made a clever disguise, became brilliant with lies

and pretended that I loved everything I despised

I worked hard to be liked and over did it at times

to much pressure to walk the line, so I committed some crimes

dropped out of school in the ninth; ran into cooler than I

had the weed, brews and pints and friends that love to fight

the fools that I beat-up and all the times that I got beat down

I got reputation always desired; now I’m tired

I don’t want to live and I don’t want to die

I just have to laugh ‘cause I don’t want to cry

I’m always rhymin’ on the break down; ‘cause all I do is break down

when nobody’s lookin’, tears runnin’ like greyhounds

my remedy is to clown, laugh and talk garbage

‘cause what’s really goin’ on is the 18-wheeler of baggage

imagine a whole lineage of illiage, drug-addicts and idiots, mental patients,

my family tree is straight insidious like it was water with alcohol

but I wouldn’t have it any other way; I love y’all!

I don’t want to live and I don’t want to die

I just have to laugh ‘cause I don’t want to cry

I don’t want to live and I don’t want to die

I just have to laugh ‘cause I don’t want to cry

I don’t want to live and I don’t want to die

I just have to laugh ‘cause I don’t want to cry

I don’t want to live and I don’t want to die

I just have to laugh ‘cause I don’t want to cry
