Take me back
take me back
take me back to my shotgun shack

Take me back
take me back
take me back to my shotgun shack

Walking home in the misty rain
on the shores on the Ponchattrain
by the tracks I'm counting the ties
heart got heavy I began to cry
I got sad I started to thinking it'd only
get worse if I started to drinkin
that forty ounce, or a bottle in bond
got the walkin' blues time to move along
it's time to move along

skunk weed everclear lemonade
I'm strummin to the rythym that the driver made
sooth my brough with holy water
stood at the alter with the Devil's daughter
with the Devil's daughter
Gonna go home and lick my wounds
with a bottle on the table and a dirty spoon

Take me back
take me back
take me back to my shotgun shack

Take me back
take me back
take me back to my shotgun shack

Layin' in the sunshine with my moonshine
smoking my green in a fast machine
time to submerge time to converge
I got the urge to sing me a dirge
I got the old time evil blues
I got the good time bad time pay your dues
got a Chevrolet gotta get away back to my shack
I'm going to stay

Full moon creeping by my window pane
I'm in a cold sweat never be the same
I'll never be the same
whatcha gonna do?
whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
what's gone is done what's gone is past
some thing's ain't meant to last
you better watch out what you're doin'
you better watch out who you're screwin'

skunk weed everclear lemonade
I'm strummin' to the rythym that the driver made
got a three legged dog and 3.2 beer
well you're looking real good won't you come over here?
 

Take me back
take me back
take me back to my shotgun shack

Take me back
take me back
take me back to my shotgun shack

Take me back
take me back
take me back to my shotgun shack

Take me back
take me back
take me back to my shotgun shack
