Drive all night, in my Nissan, see what's cooking with you. I've been waiting, for an answer, what's on your menu. I've been driving all night, just to get a little taste of your sauce. My Sukiyaki baby's, been waiting with hibachis. I know she's out of sight, hungry for a little taste of my love. My Sukiyaki baby's going to cook it up right all night. Pick you up, drop your brats off, going to karaoke. Your mom's jealous, of your cooking, and my matsutake. Looking thicker, I don't mind it, it's just more for me to dip into. Well I love you, talking dirty, but you always keep your kitchen clean.

You left me, and my dog standing there. Out on the porch, you took off in my truck again. So lonely, without you around yelling at me. Well now, how about that, standing here with just my dick in my hand. (looking at your dildos again) Lonely tears left in my eyes. Drunken birds crash in the sky. Lonely beer cans stacked miles high. I Must be high, the walls(ceiling/windows) are talking and they don't lie. Without you, this old home is falling apart . Guess I'll, have to make friends with the cockroaches. Another, day of waking to an empty bed. Hungover, Margaritas my only lover left.

Puking at your wedding, once again. I know it's the third time, going to get it right. Sorry I'm such a, fucked up mess tonight. Wanted to have a good time, everything's all right. I'll bust a move out on the dance floor. I'll make a toast off the back of my hand. I'll put the moves out on the bride's maids. But I'll sleep with a bottle of Jack tonight. Maybe check on me later to see if I'm alright. Puking at your wedding, once again. Brought my Winnebago, for the honeymoon. Sorry I bought the blender, half off at Walmart. Wanted to forget my, on going divorce. I'll honky tonk out on the dance floor. I'll put rhinestones all up my suit. I'll make the preacher's wife start to blush. But I'll probably be sleeping with a bottle of Jack tonight. Maybe check on me later to see if I'm alright. Yamanba girls with neon tans from head to toes busting out electric slides, Mori keis looking like raggedy Ann, stabbing my heart with their voodoo dolls, cowpoke yankis looking for hanky panky, big rigs down at the rodeo, kaminari zokus with lunar hairdos, like Fonzie dancing alone with the tumbleweeds. She's a Sassafras Lass with the killer ass, bedazzled in spurs and fur. She's drinking sarsaparilla like a lonely Cinderella, I just had to get down with her. Step to her with my dungaree pants, I asked if she wanted to dance. Dj drops it like he's from Texarkana, Spitting rhymes in katakana She's so fine, out on the dance floor. She's so fine, knocking my boots off. Out of my mind, doing a keg stand. Puking all the time, don't cut me off now.

I've been walking on a bed of dead flowers that you left for me in the morning. I've been limping with a stagger from the daggers being thrown at me from your looks. I've been pissing on the graves of good men on my way to the arcade center. I've been told things are bigger in Hokkaido when you're drinking moonshine at night. Hey momma, hey sister, hey brother, I ain't coming home tonight ( I'm going down down down ) I've been walking downtown turning frowns upside down on antelopes and jackelopes. I've got rodeo clowns looking me down with a dog's eyes down a gun. I've been running up Saguaros with Sapporos buying second hand mescaline. I've been pissing on your grave in front of yokels for shit kicking giggles thrills.

Gave you a beer on stage you were looking depressed. Father-in-law tried to cut your balls off you had confessed. Got 25 kids another one on the way . Your wife hates your guts you just had to say. Now you're crying and your sake bottle again. Kicking around town ,you hate my ass again. I got really drunk one night and started talking shit about your truck. You said I was a cattle rustling fuck, and I really suck.. You seemed real sensitive for a guy with such, fucked up tattoos. You told me to shut the fuck up, and called me a Jew. Now you're crying in your whiskey bottle again Kicking around town you hate my ass again. Suntori and Jim beam down at the honky tonk. Crying in your whiskey bottle, who would have thunk. By the time I got on Facebook you had done unfriended me. I guess that's how it works in the 21st century. Things got really coarse when I said you should, vaccinate your fucking horse. You accused me and baby's mama of having intercourse. Now you're crying in your shochu bottle again. Kicking around town you hate my ass again. Kirishima and Shiro down at The honky tonk. Crying in your shochu bottle who would have thunk.

Might drink some whiskey, might get in a fight. Might kill a hooker on a Saturday night. Everything is alright, and I'm ready to go. Lost in the gutter of this damn old rodeo. Train riding across town teaching all day. Gonna get piss drunk gonna spend my pay. Discount sushi, and I'm ready to puke. Red lights glowing like a Roswell atomic nuke. Nakasu Nights.... Shotgun marriages at love hotels. Bootleg gravy from the drug cartels. Sketchy hentais, and the glory holes. Truck stop living going start on taking its toll. Fake spray tans riding Kawasakis. All the way from Albuquerque to Nagasaki. Everything's alright, and I'm ready to go. Lost in the gutter of this damn old rodeo..

We're the only ones left here, standing in this bar my dear. I know, we're not each other's first choice now. It's clear to me with my goggles on, you'll be my double d fantasy. Now let's get down to it. Got no money for a love hotel, you're hungry I can tell. I know, you prefer grazing. It's clear to me with my belt buckle off, This alley's gonna be just good enough. Now let's get down and freaky. You're not the best bovine, I've lassoed at the finish line I know, you like it a bit kinky. If you push your luck far enough, we might get into to some back door stuff. Now get out the handcuffs

Douglas county has fucked my family. Knocked up at 17 getting her GED. Douglas county has fucked my family. Nephew's 18 going to the penitentiary. Crystal meth, incense, kicking back some red rose, and maybe some blow. High school football is all we got going on in this here town, anything goes. In Douglas county, nothing ever grows... Douglas county has fucked my family. Trading in food stamps for some cigarettes. Douglas county has fucked my family. Closed down the factory put up a meth lab. Welfare kids, redneck shit, cars on cinder blocks, oh what a metaphor. Legal Mary Jane is all we got going on. Tuxedo t-shirts without any sleeves. In Douglas county, no one ever leaves...

Your face is in a smartphone, again tonight. Across the table all alone, miles apart. Pick up the bill, and my heart off the floor. Cause we're just sitting here miles apart again. Blazing with my six shooters(ray guns / cupid's arrows) out. Aiming straight for your heart. And I know that I'll miss you. Miles of open highway, between you and I. Sitting watching a burrito holds me over, for your touch. 18 wheels couldn't drive you to me. Cause we're just sitting here miles apart again. It's a showdown at the rest stop again with you. I think you brain has melted like a quesadilla. Guess I'll stare at the Fritos,by myself. Cause we're just sitting here miles apart again.

Typhoons and tsunamis, laid out on mezcal, I think the worm crawled into my brain again, and I'm gone…. Lo siento senorita, borracho de habushu, I'm lost in Okinawa, and I'm gone… Late for your quinceañera, banditos stole my mo-ped, trading shots of sochu with a sailor, and I'm gone…

Met you outside of a club in downtown Namba. Thought I could get you in but they knew I was too fucked up. Off convenient store happoshu and instant expired yakisoba. Old ladies looked on in leopard spandex high fashion. Goddamn you Osaka girls! Doing the eikaiwa boogie to pay off all these hostesses. Teaching discount honky tonk in danchi dojos in Umeda. Held up a seven eleven only walked away with a Sri Lankan girl's heart. Pick up a gothic lolita but she turned out to be a salaryman. Met a sexy AV idol outside a rehearsal in Tennoji. But she turn out to be just a sex toy and a six pack of tall boys.
