"Enemy" lyrics
"Enemy"
Keep the music down
I can hear somebody moving through the pines
This is meth country lately
Can't be camping where they're cooking up their lines
Captain What's-his-face is still fighting the war
Front porch wisdom from his lonely heart
Listen up kids and maybe write this down
Fly by night, this ain't your highway town
'Cause everybody's a high-roller when they don't have nothing
Sharpshooter when it's all on the line
Day-tripper when their life means nothing
Keep your head low, everyone's an enemy
Backwoods pawn shop
Holding Granny's silver and her pills
She's got that snot-nosed daughter
Owing money everywhere around town
Ol' Jimmy D. Wayne is still fightin' his dogs
Thirty cents a pound for a feral hog
Listen up kids and maybe write this down
Fly by night, this ain't your highway town
'Cause everybody's a high-roller when they don't have nothing
Sharpshooter when it's all on the line
Day-tripper when their life means nothing
Keep your head low, everyone's an enemy
Track-mark junkie
Lives a double life preaching every Sunday
This ain't a place you go to die
It's just a two-blink city on the right
Whiskey-breath Julie still beatin' her kids
Don't drink the shine unless it burns pure white
Listen up boys and maybe write this down
Fly by night, this ain't your highway town
'Cause everybody's a high-roller when they don't have nothing
Sharpshooter when it's all on the line
Day-tripper when their life means nothing
Keep your head low, everyone's an enemy

The SteelDrivers - "Good Corn Liquor" Well, the sun don't shine
On a moonshine still
Copper line hiding in the side of a hill
It'll get you there
It'll get you there quicker
Fruit jar full of that good corn liquor
Now when I was young...
Cross Canadian Ragweed - "Brooklyn Kid" Well I gotta friend that lives south of town
Loves to sit and burn one down
Spin some vinyl on his stereo
Every now and then he speaks of war
One tour of duty on a foreign shore
Fightin' for his way...
The Jompson Brothers - "On The Run" The wind is blowing, cold at dark
On the road and no way out
Chained to all the things I've done
On the run
On the run
I wear misery like a veil
And I don't get much sleep
A broken heart's a smokin'...
William Clark Green - "Dangerous Man" I caught you standin' behind the bar
Put all my money in your tip jar
Lord you never even noticed
Never really cared
Threw you a line and you shot me down
I ain't no ring leader, I'm a damn clown
I...
