lyrics

When I first saw the man,
He was using a pool cue to conduct the country band,
On the jukebox,
Dancing on the table in his boots and socks,
And a dirt cheap wheat straw cowboy hat.
Now how ’bout that.

When I first heard him speak,
He was cussing politicians for what they did last week,
On the TV,
Going ’round saying that shit don’t apply to me,
In his dirt cheap wheat straw cowboy hat,
Now how ’bout that.

(refrain)
Trucks need running, fields need a plow,
But a man don’t need a reason anyhow,
To cut his chains,
And make a lot of claims,
Then settle ’em all in the traditional way,
With a handful of fire and a bloody display.

When I got back to town,
He was asking about some people with the right background,
In resistance,
Doing dirty work is just doing business,
For a dirt cheap wheat straw cowboy hat.
Now how ’bout that.

(repeat refrain)

Now how does this go,
And how do you know.
They want a show,
So give ’em a show, give ’em a show.

Graves need tending, fields need a plow,
But a man don’t need a reason anyhow.
