Well the passenger door was hanging wide open
Anything worth taking was sure enough gone
But they couldn’t unloosen those battery cables
So at least we’ll make it home, fellas, tonight
For the unmarried ladies
And the Jameson whiskey
Tales of a stranger murdered so cruel
Purple candles and grapes
Chickasaw lightening, sitting higher than an old caboose
And you might spend your days like a runaway truck?
With a half sunken rusted out trailer park eyes
If they ask you tomorrow you might have to be braver
Than the bull they dragged dead around the ring
For the unmarried ladies
And the Jameson whiskey
Tales of a stranger murdered so cruel
Purple candles and grapes
Chickasaw lightening, sitting higher than an old caboose
Yeah and sometimes catch myself wishing I’d spoken
So careless but I’ve never been a trader no no no no
And it’s easy enough for me to remember
What an arm full of sweetness can do
For the unmarried ladies
And the Jameson whiskey
Tales of a stranger murdered so cruel
Purple candles and grapes
Chickasaw lightening, sitting higher than an old caboose
And when a young boy leaves for his father’s approval
And he leaps from the top of the Evelen bridge
With no voice in his ear and no hand on his shoulder
He’ll find his way down to Heeley’s farm
