Lyrics:
It’s Friday and I’m making fried eggs
And the pane in the window is cracked
And there’s my daddy
Coming cross the pasture
Smokestack stuck in his back
It’s 97 and it’s barely lunchtime
And he blusters in through the back door
Where’s your mama
He’s just getting started
And I’m staring down at the floor
CHORUS:
Boiling water
Just to have something cookin
Look what you’re giving away
Boiling water
Just to have something doing
Look what you’re giving away
Daughter running from the heat of the summer
She’s got to have someone, someone to blame
Daughter a dying to jump in the water
But the water is rolling away
Just like marbles make an empty box rattle
Child put your eyes back in your head
You ain’t got the sense God gave a turnip
You didn’t listen to one word I said.
CHORUS
97 and I’m walking on eggshells
There’s nothing to step on but cracks
There’s my daddy coming cross the pasture
Smokestack breaking his back
