All American Girl
Neglected by your mama,
abandoned by your dad.
Molested by your uncle,
girl, your story's really sad.
You had eating disorders.
You got skinny, you got fat.
Watched your older brother decapitate your cat.
You're a all American, all American girl.
The day you turned 14 you weren't a baby anymore.
Took on the baseball team right on that dirty dugout floor.
Then you tried your hand at football.
Sacked the quarterback.
Drinkin beer and smokin' dope and lying on your back.
You're a all American, all American girl.
Got a fake ID when you were just 16. Discovered rock n' roll, became a backstage groupie queen.
Rode in all the vans of every member of the band. Said you only live once, gonna get it while you can.

Well life's been too much livin' it's showing in your face.
But you just keep on cheatin' and repeatin' your mistakes.
You love 'em and you leave 'em, don't even know their names.
Life is one big party. I lost you again, you're a all American, all American girl.
You're looking pretty sick girl, no you don't look too well.
You're eyes are sunk from all that junk, you're on your way to hell.
Just back from the clinic, they're positive you're done.
Guess it doesn't matter, long as you had fun.
You're a all American, all American girl. You're just a all American, all American girl.
Nothin' but a all American, all American, all American, all American, all American, all American girl.
Old Boyfriend
I don’t wanna be just another one of your old boyfriends, baby.
I don’t wanna be just somebody you knew before.
I don’t wanna be just another one of your old boyfriends, baby.
I don’t wanna be that, I wanna be something more.
I don’t wanna be just a memory, just a another picture in a drawer.
I don’t wanna be just another one of your old flings.
I don’t wanna be just another one of your old boyfriends, baby.
Just another face…
Don’t you think it’s time you took a little risk?
Don’t you think you’re caring a little more for this?
Don’t you think it’s time you took a chance on love?
Don’t you think it’s time, babe?
I don’t wanna be another broken heart up on your shelf.
Another mounted trophy on your wall.
If that’s the case then I think that I’d rather just stay here by myself.
I don’t want nothing if I can’t have it all.
Because I’ve been through this before and I don’t wanna waste my time.
And I imagine I must have some better things to do.
I don’t wanna be just another one of your old boyfriends, baby.
The only thing I want is to find a heart that’s true.
Why can’t it be you?
Why can’t it be you?
The only thing I want is to find a heart that’s true.
Why can’t it be you?
High Noon In Killville
Bruce and Ed and I walked into Old Pappy's Foodmart
Bruce and Ed were brothers and they were not very smart
But I needed some men fast to help me with this one big score
Then I'd never have to rob another grocery store
Fill the bag with money I said to the cashier
Fill the bag with money honey and we'll get out of here
But somebody tripped the alarm and then all Hell broke loose
The bag boy he pulled out a gun and blew a hole through Bruce
Ed caught the bag boy in the chest with both barrels from his twelve
The bag boy flew back twenty feet into the produce shelf
That was for my brother Ed shouted through his tears
Now we faced the electric chair instead of 15 years
I grabbed that bag of money and I headed for the door
I didn't wanna die in some stinking grocery store
But the parking lot was already crawlin' thick with cops
That what you get when you rob a store 'round the corner from the donut shop
Sheriff Big Dick Turner he was runnin' the whole show
He said throw your guns down come on out boys let them people go
You boys don't stand a chance your little heist has failed
But I knew Big Dick Turner and we'd never reach his jail
Ed looked up through the window just to see what was going on
A bullet pierced his forehead and the back of Ed's head was gone
The cashiers they were screaming Ed's brains were everywhere
It seemed Big Dick was right there was no gettin' out of there
A car pulled up some folks got out it was my mom and dad
My daddy yelled out kid you're the worst son I ever had
You're really in it this time you're really in it deep
I hope they blow your brains out you good for nothing creep
Sheriff Big Dick Turner yelled get 'em out of here
And I sent the cashier to the stock room to bring me back some beer
The family plan had failed plan B was coming soon
I was starring in my very own Dog Day Afternoon
Then they brought a woman out my true love Madeline
She left me seven months before and I hadn't seen her since
She left me for the bouncer at the bowling alley bar
She left him two weeks later for some guy who sold used cars
She said Franky please come out of there you're in an awful jam
Franky please come out of there and we can start again
While you're away in prison I will wait faithfully
Franky I do love you please come on out for me
Well I knew that she was lying 'cause she never told the truth
I knew that I would get the chair they'd never let me loose
But for my true love Madeline I threw my gun out on the ground
I hollered Big Dick Turner I'm coming out please don't cut me down
Well they didn't give me death they gave me 60 years
So I think it's safe to say that I'll be dying in here
And Madeline and Big Dick Turner they're the hottest thing in town
I was a love sick fool when I had the chance
I should've shot them down.
Disposable Boy
I'm a disposable boy
I'm just an old worn out toy
Like the dolls you used to play with as a baby a long long time ago
I'm a disposable heart
Lord knows I'm not very smart
Because it happens every time and I never see it coming till they go
So once again I find myself on the curbside with the bottles and the cans
With the flies buzzin' 'round and the rain fallin' down on me again
But this time they won't recycle me this time I'm heading out to the landfill
This disposable boy's had enough of swallowing life's bitter pill
I'm a disposable thing
Just at temporary fling Like a brand new toy on Christmas that's in the garbage can by New Year's day
I'm a disposable boy
Just a disposable boy
And you had your fun with me and tore me up and then you threw my love away
Yeah you had your fun with me......
