Preener


I seen him
I seen him

I’m in my yard clothes
The sweatstained man

On this day I’ll be a fool and run
On this day I’ll be a fool and run

Never mind the details.
The orange emblem. The gun.

Where the work is to work none
Shirk away to another day and done.

I seen him in his drugstore blue
Vest and waved hair do

He’d growed it out long and coiffure
He all Boy. Yeah. Sure,

I can’t quite abjure you no more.
And I’m naw gunna be your sucker. Sure

Hurry, I say. Ride in the car.
Just ride in the car.

He like, I can’t abdure you
No abvure you of all yah schore

Ride in the car, hurry, I say
Just need you in the car. For a little way

Ride. We ride or I guan ride?
Ride. We ride or I guan ride?

But he’s walked away back in the store
But he’s walked away back in the store
