Poachers Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I ain't bad, I'm just lazy and I ain't got around to it

I shot it on Wednesday and it's almost the next

How long do I have to call it in and be legal

Or is it sufficient if I honor my tags?

I was askin' myself as I explained to Dylan

The importance of havin' your license, you see

'Cause you never can tell when a warden will roll in

They got more authority than the great God, I think

[Chorus]

I can hear 'em now talkin', ah, God, it is scandalous

They were took in for poachin', they were both packin' heat

They were crossin' state lines, they were drivin' a Caddy

With a cab full of dogs and a trunk full of meat

[Verse 2]

They'd think we were high, they'd say I was slippin'

Trill told me 'bout somethin' that his buddies call lean

It sounds like a drag, I like my drugs, methy

But if I's runnin' with him, they'd suspect it of me

[Chorus]

I can hear 'em now talkin', ah, God, it is scandalous

His Papaw'd be rollin', I don't know where he strayed

I know that you'd know him, he's the one on the rad'ya

He's the one with the vid'ya of the coal minin' gays

[Chorus]

I can hear 'em now talkin', ah, God, it is scandalous

He could have been somethin' if he weren't such a mess

If he hadn't went broke, God cancel him sideways

We lost us another to the others, I guess

[Verse 3]

I told Trill of a place where they took your belongings

And they sold 'em at auction twice a year for the state

They'd get a thirty-two North Star, some pistols, a cooler

The weed would walk off, and the dogs they would take

And if they couldn't relearn, oh, my God, it is scandalous

They'd go to a shelter, they'd give 'em away

A dog that's worth stacks, a one-in-a-million

Pride of the kennel, McDowell Kennels' face

[Chorus]

I hope we keep all our dogs, I'm too busy for prison

And if you get to squintin' in my own unique way

I'm pretty enough that God, it'd be scandalous

I'm a miner at heart, so I'd dig out a way

And I'd stand there like Dufresne, far enough from the searchlight

And flip off you bastards in the sewage and rain

I'd howl like a dog, I'd sound like a real one

I'd burn like a candle and grin in your face

[Outro]

I'd howl like a dog, I'd sound like a real one

I'd burn like a candle and grin in your face
