penny for your thoughts - al duvall lyrics

there’s a slaughterhouse sunset caught up on our barb wire jack
where a stranger is only a friend you haven’t shot in the back
our bloodhound is drooling and gnawing a hobo bone
we’ve had it with “howdy,” we’re all looking out for our own

once i went to the city and passed through what passed for a park
just a copse full of robbers who came out to k!ll after dark
we watched children play hopscotch and homicide chalklines for fun
i ran back up the country, back into the arms of my gun

oh say something honey, i hope you don’t think that i’m strange
you know that i’m singing these songs just to bring home some change
you’re the apple of my eye**you’re just a little tart
here’s a penny for your thoughts and a nickel for your heart
they caught the cat burglar with a sack full of kittens to fence
they birched his britches behind him to serve him his recompense
it seems the cat*o’*nine tails gives saturnine males a thrill
’cause he got off on good behavior and he’s at it still

this usherette rosey, she shows me a seat with a smile
if i made a proposal, my rose’ll go right down the aisle
oh, but since the miscarriage, we can kiss marriage goodbye
now i’m back on the make putting on the old “sensitive guy”

if this is pork, bring me chicken; if it’s chicken, then bring me some pork
and this coffee’s so thick i have to drink it with a fork
i just can’t see how someone’s expected to choke down this swill
if this wasn’t my lunch car, i’d up and skip out on the bill
