Take the story of Rat who's headed west
His buddy once told him he likes the girls there best
Centuries of singers, men who pay their rent
Waxing poetic of a woman's innocence
Rat was batshit and barely played a lick
He took to the highway high off headiness
He and his woman saw through an awful split
The road his only hope of falsifying it
Come on, come on, come on down
Come on, come on down
The wheels will turn your weary around
California calls him by his collar
His waves were ill-behaved, so now hΠ΅ doesn't bother
Shook the country from him likΠ΅ a cub clawing its father
Couldn't buy compassion 'cause it'd cost him 40 dollars
Only thing that's cheap (cheap)
Seems to be his dreams (dreams)
Even his defeat's (defeat)
Costing him something (ooh)
Bargain, bargain, bargain, bargain, bargain, bargain, bargain
Rat was eating trash out of the back of someone's garden
What he wouldn't give to have some grits to start his morning
Fascinated by the face of the woman who warms them
Rat has made his bath and this is one he'll surely drown in
Imitating tales of cowboy trails and traveling men
Hasn't satisfied a single one of his new women
The one he left alone is in their home and busy hexing
Come on, come on, come on home
Come on, come on home
At least she'll probably bury your bones
Country boys know better
Than to leave that weather
They know better
They know better
And a country boy knows
That wherever he goes
It'll show, it'll show
It'll show, it'll show
Oh, come on, come on, come on down
Come on, come on down
Bring our buddy Rat back around
Take the story of Rat who headed west
His brain hallucinating, his ego in his chest
His friends, they never told him it'd cost him close to death
At home, his woman carves another kind of casket
The kind he gladly climbs and closes himself in
His buddy once told him he likes the girls there best
Centuries of singers, men who pay their rent
Waxing poetic of a woman's innocence
Rat was batshit and barely played a lick
He took to the highway high off headiness
He and his woman saw through an awful split
The road his only hope of falsifying it
Come on, come on, come on down
Come on, come on down
The wheels will turn your weary around
California calls him by his collar
His waves were ill-behaved, so now hΠ΅ doesn't bother
Shook the country from him likΠ΅ a cub clawing its father
Couldn't buy compassion 'cause it'd cost him 40 dollars
Only thing that's cheap (cheap)
Seems to be his dreams (dreams)
Even his defeat's (defeat)
Costing him something (ooh)
Bargain, bargain, bargain, bargain, bargain, bargain, bargain

His brain hallucinating, his ego in his chest
His friends, they never told him it'd cost him close to death

The kind he gladly climbs and closes himself in
