about

Unmanicured song about beautiful things growing in the muck.

lyrics

© 2013 The Squirrel Hillbillies

Uncle went to Vegas
Lost it all on a Jack
Grandpa went to Vietnam
Never came back
Mama’s been sleeping by the subway stop
Papa’s in prison wondering how he got caught

Hauling rubble by the ton
Souvenirs of where I’m from

Cut my teeth on trash
Learned to hold my nose
Dreaming of a sunny day
A little grass to mow
Some folks say I got no chance
But I don’t need luck ‘cause I got me a plan

Found an old dog
He’s a lot like me
Raised in the wild
Smarter than he seems
Don’t bark much but got sharp teeth
He waits by the door every time I leave

Blood is thick but thieves are, too
Gonna find me a way to slip on through

Uncle went to Vegas
Lost it all on a Jack
Grandpa went to Vietnam
Never came back
Fruit don’t hang on my family tree
So I’m trying to grow something in this mud around me
