Lyrics

BACKHOE

I don?t want to work on this road no more
Just want to lie with you for the rest of my life in an Airstream
Leave that old backhoe rust?in in my backyard
That?s my dream/ That?s my dream

Septics in the valley/ foundations by the river
Bust?in up this concrete/ landfill to deliver
And if you were to ask me/ Just where this life is bound
Tonight it?s to this roadhouse to wash this gravel down
(chorus)
I?m star?in at these longnecks/ Don?t ask me ?bout my prospects
Sav?in that discussion for another time
When these rivers run with mud
Then leavin?s in my blood/ Texas or Alaska come easilly to my mind
(chorus)
This genuine affection that I feel for you
Might not last this night/ If you ask me what I do...
?Cause tomorrow babe at seven I?m work?in Route 11
3 o?clock it?s simple/ I?m not go?in home
Septics in the valley/ foundations by the river
No time for temptation/ landfill to deliver.......
