Gonna hold my hand   Right over that candle flame   Until I can't take it any longer   I swear I could hold it there   All God damned day   If I wanted to   I said hey go on   Go ahead and make my day   Then I blew away the mother in the mirror   And as I lay dying   On the bedroom rug   Bleeding with all my heart   Someone says hey swifty   Yer gonna have to come around sometime      Took a car ride out to the flats   Where I hit a big dog   Hit a dog out on the highway   So to find out what it was like   When you hit a big dog   I ran over it a couple more times   Let it set for a week or so   Until it got really ripe   And flat and hard   In the middle of the highway   Then I found it and bound it up   With some baler twine   And painted it up like an american flag   Then someone says hey swifty   Yer gonna have to come around sometime      Last week I got so bored   That I took a big ride   And went out to the mississippi   I took this guy I know   Named lou along and he went   Because he wanted to   He said I can't believe   We've driven all this way   Just to see a fuckin' river   And I said God damn, God damn   God damn you man   And I left him where he stood   Then someone says hey swifty   Yer gonna have to come around sometime
