Heartaches and Grease

Heartaches and Grease

 

Young pups they ask me what makes my kind

Shameless women and pork rinds

Desirable lips keep telling me lies

Biscuits and bacon and fried pies

 

And it’s heartaches and grease,that’s what it take

Heartaches and grease, It’s my mistakes

Heartaches and grease it’s their disgrace

Heartaches and grease boys, It’s what it takes

 

Young pups they ask me

Why I do what I do

Knowing trouble wears high heel shoes

I’m tempted and trialed by a fine pair of legs

I’m likewise enticed by over easy eggs

 

Young pups can see that my life’s in shreds

They walk away just shaking their heads

Their’s no sadder case of desire and anguish

For I’m done in by women, hushpuppies catfish and

 

Oh it’s heartaches and grease boys,that’s what it takes

Heartaches and grease, Over my mistakes

Heartaches and grease ,the disgrace

Heartaches and grease boys, that’s what  it takes

Heartaches and grease boys, is all it takes

Heartaches and grease, Over my mistakes

Heartaches and grease boys, the disgrace

Heartaches and grease, is all it takes
