The Mountain Goats - The Ballad of Bull Ramos lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Drive a great big truck when I'm old, when I'm old

Haul the wrecks down to the wreck yard, help the boys unload

Keep my hair nice & long becos' I can, becos' I can

Any of my old friends who have no place to turn to

They know to call me any time they come thru'

(Chorus)

Never die, never die

Stand with a bullwhip in my hand

& rise, rise

In the desert sand

(Verse 2)

Work days, work nights, finally get laid up

By a piece of broken glass on the floor of the shop

& the doctor recognizes me as the operatin' theater goes dim

Aren't u that ole' wrestler with the bullwhip?!

Yessir, that's me, I'm him!

(Bridge)

Get around fine on 1 leg

Lose a kidney, then go blind

Sit on my porch in Houston

Let the good times dance across my mind

(Chorus)
