about

This is a cover of a song written and owned by Christ Watkins. The vocals and guitar are live. The bass, also played by Jamie, was added.

lyrics

Mamma had the notion, she was headed for the door.
Poppa had an inclination, of sleeping on the floor.
I got out of prison in the fall of '95.
And Christmas was a six-pack, and a beat up TV Guide.

Well my brother lives in Tuscon, with a picture perfect wife!
In a picture perfect house he leads a picture perfect life!
And everyone remarks how the youngest looks like me!
(couldn't be)
I used to have a photo of him, ah, who are you?

They tell you that you can't, go home again.
Mister that's a place, I've never been!
If you happen to see, one of them around?
Pick it up for me! And nail it down... and nail it down... and nail it down.

People in my neighborhood, they're either wrong or right.
And if they catch you walking in the motion sensor at night,
they'll take you to the Wal-Mart, and buy you some new clothes!
And then they'll take you to the balcony to see if white trash floats.

Say that you can't, go home again!
A mister that's a place, I've never been.
And if you happen to see, one of them around?
Pick it up for me! And nail it down... and nail it down.

Operator, I don't remember, her last name.
It started with a Y and ended in the rain.

At night I watch The Wheel of Fortune on my set,
I'm a hoping that some luck my rub off, but it hasn't yet.
Good looking and fancy clothes, fortunate with cash! They don't know
about the hungry, hurting from the last.


Say that you can't, go home again!
Mister that's a place, I've never been.
If you happen to see, one of them around?
Pick it up for me! And nail it down... and nail it down...and nail it down...and nail it down.
