Album: Born With A Tail
Butterfly
VERSE 1
I ve been a worm since I was born
But I ll change before I die
Someday soon I ll come out of this cocoon
And turn into a butterfly
VERSE 2
Grandpa drank mash and talked that trash
Died in a coal mine blast
Daddy smoked crack talked straight smack
Got a cap popped in his ass
VERSE 3
Daddy died and momma cried
On the shoulders of other men
I stayed home all alone
Played with my imaginary friends
BRIDGE
They re pretty good guys who like to get high
It helped to stop the pain
One quick blast makes your heart beat so fast
You feel the blood boiling in your veins
VERSE 4
My buddy Vernon loved his bourbon
And everything else that burned
My girl Ophelia only drank tequila
Her favorite part was the worm
VERSE 5
We were playing by the tractor with an old firecracker
And a can of gasoline
There was one quick blast that burned all the grass
Brightest thing that I had ever seen
VERSE 6
I saw my grandpappy flying behind my daddy
They picked me up where I fell down
The field was burning Ophelia and Vernon
Slithered back into the ground
VERSE 7
Momma came running I tried to yell something
But my mouth couldn t form the words
She didn t see me up there so high in the air
With all the butterflies and the birds
