Wasted all night
In digging a hole
Couldn't be stopped
Wouldn't be sold
Tasted so right
Sure had to be wrong
Think you did smart
What took you so long?
What took you so long?
Buried his lack
Of power in sin
Opened the gates
Let the temptress in
Scurried right back
To where he'd begun
Safe and warm
In the shadow of a dark hard sun
In the shadow of a dark hard sun
In the shadow of a dark hard sun
Lay the iron
Make it red
Stamp it on his empty head
Son you're gonna
Find this tough
Shun the locoweed of love
Shun the locoweed of love
Shun the locoweed of love
Down in the mire
With the beasts of the ditch
Pushing his luck
Pulling his switch
Crown of barbed wire
Hair shirt and a tie
Leave it alone
All the smart boys know why
Buried his lack
Of power in sin
Opened the gates
Let the temptress in
Scurried right back
To where he'd begun
Safe and warm
In the shadow of a dark hard sun
In the shadow of a dark hard sun
In the shadow of a dark hard sun
Lay the iron
Make it red
Stamp it on his empty head
Son you're gonna
Find this tough
Shun the locoweed of love
Lay the iron
Make it red
Stamp it on his empty head
Son you're gonna
Find this tough
Shun the locoweed of love
