Fred Eaglesmith - Shoeshine lyrics

Bone-shaker rattle-trap I'm living on my own again 6 quarts of whiskey And I keep em in a jerry can Got a couple hounds a 44 bore My friends used to come around They don't any more Shoeshine they call me Shoeshine they say Shoeshine they call me but that isn't my name Down by the river things got bad she got angry and I got sad the next thing you know she's gone for good I'm running for my life in the dark and dreary wood Wind in the willows and the rattling of the wires clicking of the hammer and somethings on fire figures in the field and the worlds gone quiet they won't ever take me alive
