"Dumbass, Nebraska" lyrics
A dumbass horse trader from Dumbass, Nebraska
Made a mess of himself for his wife to look after
Took a hoof to the head and knocked out his senses
Thoughts hung like rain from the planks of the fences
Ohoohoohoohoo, Ohoohooohoo
Ohoohoohoohoo, Ohoohooohoohoo
A whole heap of horses to brand and to break
But she ain't too hopeful that he'll ever wake
So she settles the dealings and tends his bedside
But if wishes were horses he'd already died
Ohoohoohoohoo, Ohoohooohoo
Ohoohoohoohoo, Ohoohooohoohoo
In this vast lonesome country where the sky came undone
We grow our own troubles that you can't outrun
Horses flee danger, women stand ground
Steadfast and surefooted, they don't often back down
No place for brain swelling or a fractured skull
Time can't afford a break or to lull
In an orchard-less landscape, she'll live and she'll die
And eat lots of peaches on the other side
Ohoohoohoohoo, Ohoohooohoo
Ohoohoohoohoo, Ohoohooohoohoo
Made a mess of himself for his wife to look after
Took a hoof to the head and knocked out his senses
Thoughts hung like rain from the planks of the fences
Ohoohoohoohoo, Ohoohooohoo
Ohoohoohoohoo, Ohoohooohoohoo
A whole heap of horses to brand and to break
But she ain't too hopeful that he'll ever wake
So she settles the dealings and tends his bedside
But if wishes were horses he'd already died
Ohoohoohoohoo, Ohoohooohoo
Ohoohoohoohoo, Ohoohooohoohoo
In this vast lonesome country where the sky came undone
We grow our own troubles that you can't outrun
Horses flee danger, women stand ground
Steadfast and surefooted, they don't often back down
No place for brain swelling or a fractured skull
Time can't afford a break or to lull
In an orchard-less landscape, she'll live and she'll die
And eat lots of peaches on the other side
Ohoohoohoohoo, Ohoohooohoo
Ohoohoohoohoo, Ohoohooohoohoo
