Lyrics

She's putting down her blue guitar
And hanging up the silver microphone
She's trying to have a baby
Cause everything is timing don't you know
But she's thinking that she might be getting old
So she's seeing every doctor in town
And when they tell her that there ain't no way
And they tell her that there ain't no how
She goes to get her prescription filled
At the one place that never turns her down

Cause at the Roadkill Resurrection
The band will come on to revive
The folks who have got no protection
And all the fools who don't survive
And at the Roadkill Resurrection
Your redemption's never very far
Cause at the Roadkill Resurrection
It's just 12 steps to the bar

And the band plays: Hush sweet Charlotte don't you cry
The baby's coming; the baby's coming any time
You'll have your peaches on the vine
Pink or blue, God will decide

He's betting on a bullish stock
But has a heart attack while on the phone
Now he's trying to win his life back
Cause everything is timing don't you know
Yet he doesn't think it's time for going slow
So he's ignoring every doctor in town
And when they talk about the stress and the working late
And they talk about the losing twenty pounds
He goes to get his prescription filled
At the one place that never brings him down

Cause at the Roadkill Resurrection
The band will come on to revive
The folks who have got no protection
And all the fools who don't survive
And at the Roadkill Resurrection
Your redemption's never very far
Cause at the Roadkill Resurrection
It's just 12 steps to the bar

And the band plays: You see your dream across the road
There's just two lanes; just two lanes for you to go
There's a thrill in the speeding flow
Green or red God only knows

And at the Roadkill Resurrection
You never have to cry into your beer
The band will know just what to play
Cause you only hear what you want to hear
And you always get your favorite table
And time itself is perfectly still
And you always can and you're always able
Til closing time and then you're roadkill
