Junior - Bongwater

Outside the bar where I was cashier

He’d wait eagle-eyed

And guard the lot where the rapists roamed

Passing 4×4's

Make the next right

Turn at Big Otter

In the middle of nowhere

In the middle of the night

My hometown paper

Has the best news

Beautiful trees, humid heat

Made me think

What if I married Junior

The Viet vet parking attendant

Would it be so bad?

Would it be so bad?

I had nothing to fear

Except maybe him, cause he was kind of… what's the word?

Unpredictable

Van and Tammy with their popsicle stains

Drink cherry cola

From a big litre bottle

From a big litre bottle

On the dirt lawn

Mud when it rains

Turtle shells right from the sun

Dinner at Suzy-Q's

Jackpot bingo nothing to lose

There’ll be no fooling around no more

There’ll be no fooling around no more

Cause he’s the only one

He’s the only one for me

He’s the only one…

Would it be so bad?

And he’d tell me what it’s like to be shot

Feels like a cigarette burning, a burning that never stops
