Puttin' People on the Moon - Drive By Truckers[00:00:00]

Mary alice had a baby and he looked just like I did[00:00:11]

We got married on a monday and I been working ever since[00:00:17]

Every week down at the ford plant but now they say they're shutting down[00:00:23]

Goddamned reagan in the white house and noboby gives a damn[00:00:29]

Double digit unemployment tva be shutting soon[00:00:35]

While over there in huntsville they puttin' people on the moon[00:00:41]

So I took to runnin' numbers for this man I used to know[00:00:46]

And I sell a few narcotics and I sell a little blow[00:00:52]

I ain't getting rich now but I'm gettin' more than by[00:00:58]

It's really tough to make a living but a man just got to try[00:01:03]

If I died in colbert county would it make the evening news[00:01:09]

They too busy blowin' rockets puttin' people on the moon[00:01:14]

Mary alice she quit askin' why I do the things I do[00:01:31]

I ain't sayin' that she likes it but what else I'm gonna do[00:01:37]

If I could solve the world's problems I'd probably start with hers and mine[00:01:43]

But they can put a man on the moon[00:01:48]

And I'm stuck down here just scraping by[00:01:51]

Mary alice got cancer just like everybody here[00:01:56]

Seems everyone I know is gettin' cancer every year[00:02:01]

And we can't afford no insurance I been 10 years unemployed[00:02:06]

So she didn't get no chemo and our lives they was destroyed[00:02:12]

And nothin' ever changes the cemetery gets more full[00:02:18]

And now over there in huntsville even nasa's shut down too[00:02:23]

Another jokers in the white house said a change was comin' round[00:02:40]

But I'm workin' at the wal mart mary alice in the ground[00:02:45]

And all them politicians they all lyin' sacks of shit[00:02:51]

They say better days upon us but it's sucking left hind tit[00:02:57]

And the preacher on the TV says it ain't too late for me[00:03:02]

But I bet he drives a cadillac and I'm broke with hungry mouths to feed[00:03:08]

And I wish I'z still an outlaw was a better way of life[00:03:25]

I could clothe and feed my family still have time to love my pretty wife[00:03:30]

If you say I'm being punished ain't he got better things to do[00:03:42]

Turnin' mountains into oceans puttin' people on the moon[00:03:47]

Turnin' mountains into oceans puttin' people on the moon[00:03:59]
