lyrics

I’ll sell you, Lord, my best friend’s used lungs
For a Salvation Army and a light.
They’re a little black but still fairly young
And he can’t put up much of a fight.

I’ll sell you, Lord, my old man’s knife.
You can use the Devil’s ass as a sheath.
Or sharpen it on his breastbone, or just do as you like,
But, please, just gimme some relief.

Or better yet, I’ll sell you my next lay
For a little piece of mind.
My baby might cuss and kick up a fuss,
But deep down you know she’s so kind.

And, Lord, I’m sure you know this to be true:
No Eve-descended woman could possibly refuse,
Pomade and peppermint and ya act real smooth,
Put a little wind in her hair on a warm Sunday afternoon.

I’ll sell you, Lord, this piano.
It’s a half-step flat, but it plays,
And it’s said to have been in a brothel of sin,
But you can exercise it with, “When the Saints Go Marching In,”
If you only play it over again and again,
At least for a couple decades.

I need some relief……………………….

Somewhere between the AM country of yesteryear, the high and lonesome willow-whine of the ferociously stoned cosmic cowboy and the horny, rambunctiousness of '70s Brit-blues-rock resides D.T. Buffkin and his "honky tonk 'n' roll."
