Intro To Putnam County

Putnam County

Alternative Rock

Well it's about a place called Putnam County

Kinda cats that sell you a rat's asshole for a wedding ring

Patrolmen behind bushes in case you come by

Well the girls are so pretty they make the moon blush

And you know things had always been kinda quiet around Putnam County

It was stretched out just like an asphalt dance floor

Would hunker down in the dirt and lie about

Their lives and all the places that they'd been

Until the moon was a stray dog on the ridge

And all the taverns would be swollen until the naked eye of two a.m

And the old-timers sucking on Coke colas and spitting days' work out

And the pedal pushers would be stretched out over the midriff bulge

And the brunette curls were hanging over the Maybelline eyes

You know there's a sign up above the Beer Nuts that says

"If you're drinking to forget her buddy, don't forget to pay"

As the old National Register was singing to the

Tune of fifty-seven dollars and fifty-seven cents

I sat with mixed feelings over mixed drinks

Covered the entire Hank Williams songbook

Hey man just one more game of eight ball over there

Yeah you know and Bernice was putting the chairs on the table

"Hey man anybody got any jumper cables around here?"

Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend anybody

Are you just using the restroom or will you be returning?

Yeah you know and the GMCs and all the rattletrap Fords

Were coughing and wheezing and percolating

As they tossed the gravel underneath the fenders

To weave home kinda wet slick anaconda of a two-lane highway

With tire irons and the crowbars rattling

And grinding gears and shifting into first

And yeah the goddamn tranny's just getting worse

And there's a Palomino and a strawberry rum

Yeah and there's goodnight kisses and money to borrow

Yeah your lunch money's right over there on the draining board, man

Yeah and the parent permission slips for the kids' field trips

And now the toilet's running for Christ's sake shake the handle

And the telephone's ringing and it's Mrs. Randall

Where the hell are my goddamn sandals anyway?

And the sun would be pulling up any minute now
