Shit Kickin' - Indigo Girls

Shit-kickin', suburban

I grew up bareback ridin'

Out on the weekends at old Park Tate’s

«If you can catch 'em, you can ride 'em»

That’s what the old man said to us kids

I took that and ran for the rest of my days

I’m a little bit left of the salt of the earth

Not too proud, I’ll prove my worth

A little bit right of my family

You know they let me be

To make my way through this world

In spite of everything

Shit-kickin', suburban

For all I’m worth

I’m a Honda girl, Trail 90

Burn my calf every time I’d ride it

That carburetor left its mark on me

«If you can start 'em, you can ride 'em»

That’s what my daddy said to us kids

I took that and ran for the rest of my days

I’m a little bit left of the salt of the earth

Not too proud, I’ll prove my worth

A little bit right of my family

You know they let me be

To make my way through this world

In spite of everything

Tearin' down the dirt roads

Dean Brown’s gas store

Walkin' past the old men

Get a load of that tomboy, kid

Flyin' out the backdoor

Down to the lakeshore

Fishin' pole, bait worms

«Delta Dawn"in my head

Catchin' and releasin'

Didn’t feel it creepin'

That kudzu covered me

Like it would set me free

From the old ways and the old men

Damn, that trickery

Got the best of me, I’m gonna

Tear it down and start again

Granddaddy was a preacher

Built that church from the sand to the steeple

I didn’t know him except by his journaling hand

If you can find him you can love him

But girl you gotta be honest about him

Or you’ll be fightin' them weeds for the rest of your days

I’m a little bit left of the salt of the earth

But it’s alright, I’ll prove my worth

A little bit right of my family

You know they set me free

To make my way through this world

In spite of everything

Shit-kickin', suburban

For all I’m worth

Shit-kickin', suburban

For all I’m worth
