What a Shame/

The windows down

Warm sticky air

Salty sweat

Kody’s beside me in the truck

She has a hatchet and I have a hand grenade

We’ve just been driving around town

Screaming **** the earth

Screaming it at all the pretty churchgoers

The school board members

Her old softball coach

 

I didn’t pay the rent this month

Kody didn’t eat a single vegetable

We ****** about 76 times

She’s been painting really beautiful

Its true talent

Mom sent some mail that said she missed me

I look pathetic trying to react like a son should

I’m almost as free as you would want to be

But what a God **** shame

I have to wake up in a few hours
