John Gorka - Scraping Dixie lyrics

I heard he was scraping dixie Looking for a job Looking for some work to get him by Steering clear of all the jails He was skinny as a rail And his face would hardly move from day to day His face would hardly move from day to day [Chorus] Don't you set your mouth on me Don't you set your mouth on me Don't you set your mouth and jump salty as the sea Even though she was the one Even so I'll overcome Don't you set your mouth on me like I belonged He learned to cook short order Was a pour man in a bar And a bubble dancer 'til his face got steamed And I know that he was bugged Dishing out those slops and slugs He said that grease got all up in his dreams Bridge: A VFW from somewhere With the 1000 yard stare The VA kept him hanging on a line His disability was pending I'd get these scribes that he was sending He'd be scraping by 'til the weather warmed this way Scraping dixie 'til the weather warmed this way He said he'd be scraping dixie Maybe Carolina way Looking for some cash to pa** him through Well what you gonna do We all have to line the flue But I'll fight until they put that tree suit on I'll be fighting 'til they put that tree suit on [Chorus]
