Tom Flannery - Favorite Son lyrics

Had myself a drink or two about a week ago How the hell I ended up here Lord I'll never know Could've sworn I seen the wife just the other day Don't see each other much but it's always been that way Texas plains whoever named 'em they sure got it right I'm as bored as a twister running thru the night Ain't got no crowd to watch me as I bring the house down So what the hell's the use of even coming round Chorus: Endless mountains call me now They want their favorite son Got myself some leaking fuel But I'm still on the run Job it got the best of me so they kissed my a** goodbye Town could not contain me put me on the other side Tracks had the same pennies on 'em from way back when That midnight train just flattened them again and again (chorus) Had myself settled down time and time again But them scrap books can't hold me down I always reach the end Daddy rode the rails out of town during the strike of '62 He only looked back once, to say 'son you'll follow too' My brother took 'em thru two states before they brought him down Had himself a smile when the spread him on the ground Sheriff wiped his own brow and thrashed around for air Said 'I'll walk that sonofab**h myself to that sizzling chair' (chorus) So I'll watch the sun go down deep in the Texas sky Seems to take so long but I'm not one to ask why I'll leave that sh** to all those who've got the time I was never raised to be the worrying kind (chorus)
