Honest Work

[Verse 1]

Let's pack our bags and go to Florida for the winter

And meet ourselves some real nice folks

A little on the older side

And little on hope

We'll hold their hands as they walk across the street

Help 'em wipe their goddamn ass

And when they're all fast asleep

Steal their medicine cabinet

Take it back home for the kids to go to school

Make enough damn dough to burn a wet-bank mule

I'm in between jobs with nothing to do

Girl, it's vacation time

[Verse 2]

It's honest work, I mean it's honestly a hassle

Folks get madder than fire

If they catch you in the witching hour

Trying to steal their copper wire

But if we get it, got a cousin at the scrapyard

Aunt Betty raised a goddamn saint

He always offers top dollar

He's always given me a fair shake

We oughta save a little while we're still around

We oughta keep ourselves busy while we're coming down

And it sure beats diggin' underneath the ground

Savin' vacation time

[Verse 3]

Ain't hard, I taught Junior how to do it

And he's touched in the head, dark child

Blames it on the drug use, honey

What does he know anyhow?

Takes a little honest work

But pretty much cooks itself

I got a buddy on the mountain having

Trouble keepin' it on the shelf

And if we turn a profit, don't you worry, boo

We'll put a couple good snorts back for me and you

It'll keep you tweakin', keep you going through

'Til we get vacation time
