"Fancy Boys" lyrics
"Fancy Boys"
(feat. Hayes Carll, James McMurtry & Dalton Domino)
In this false and soulless age
We're all tied to a great white whale
Blind faith and promises
Are hanging on a rusty nail
We all end up in Nashville
Scrounging for our next meal
When the devil's lawyer shows up
Says, "Down here, it's a hell of a deal"
Hank Williams died on New Year's day
In a Cadillac Fleetwood
And now fancy boys prance around on stages
Where Waylon once stood
An old preacher will appear
Just before our last breath
Saying, "Whoever believes the word
They shall not taste death"
Still we stutter and we stammer
And we fall down on our knees
As desperate as a real estate agent
At the Salton Sea
Hank Williams died on New Year's day
In a Cadillac Fleetwood
And now fancy boys prance around on stages
Where Waylon once stood
They say your life will flash before your eyes
Before your soul takes leave
And none but God can see your sins
I guess that's some relief
Before the last waltz is over
A new song shall begin
And the vandals brought the handle back
So the pump works once again
Hank Williams died on New Year's day
In a Cadillac Fleetwood
And now fancy boys prance around on stages
Where Waylon once stood
Where I'm going for my bad past
I ain't gonna need a toothbrush
It's gonna take than more than a soap in my mouth
Like when mama first heard me cuss
Willy said, "Roll him up and smoke him may be easier with a bong"
Just throw my ashes in the face of
Who's got this week's number one country song
Hank Williams died on New Year's day
In a Cadillac Fleetwood
And now fancy boys prance around on stages
Where Waylon once stood
Now fancy boys prance around on stages
Where Waylon once stood
