letra de harry hoxsey - callan holder

buried all the weapons and the cutting tools
everybody here has got a lot to lose
pick your inter-cardinal directions and go
hold your payload til the border’s behind you
trace the allegheny in your mercury
the sable with the sunroof and hollow seats
at the edge of the county, make a left at the choke-cherry
and tell them that you’re working for me

they know that we wouldn’t do this
they know that the story’s long and complicated
bureaucratic bloodshed, a blown cover, and a credible threat
and we wouldn’t do this
but for the compromising pictures
and the documents
possession will be ten tenths of the law again
we wouldn’t do it to a friend

there are two days out of every forty or so
i keep free for you in case you want to go
to the building i swore i would buy for you
when i was faithful and wasted
now you sift through the junk drawer that’s left of me
permanent marker on the crowns of your t–th
with a 5×7 photo taken with a camera dipped in vaseline
we were the shuttered stores
with the sheriff’s locks
when the crisis broke
and the faucets stopped
and the rivers turned back from the gulf
a different plan, the same result
we were sentimental
they were saccharine
they were harry hoxsey
we were nazarenes
whatever failsafe you hide in your back tooth
you gotta start telling the whole truth

you gotta start telling the truth
come on and tell me the truth
