Now daddy drank the whiskey from a big black Dodge
Vomit at the actors down in the Mason's Lodge
Now Daddy ran the whiskey in a big block Dodge
Bought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge

Wake up screaming like I'm back over there
Wake up screaming like I'm back over there
Wig out screaming like I'm back over there.
