The Recap Songtext
von The Dead South

Well we're all wasted in a bar somewhere downtown
When a man walks up and pokes me with a knife and says
Man, I'm gonna send you to hell
Well I took that knife, I stared him straight in the eyes, I said
Oh, boy you better fuckin' run
I've been sittin' here just a-slammin' down beers and
Now it's time to have some fun
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh well he hit me hard, yeah he hit me good and
Then I fell to the ground
But I kicked him fast, I kicked him real swift and
He came a tumblin' down
He took a stab at me and nearly cut my gut but
I kicked that knife to the floor
Then I took his head and slammed it into the bar
I don't think he'll come around no more
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh


Well I've been drinkin' here for so many damn years
Trying to recap my life
Every night trouble finds my sight and I can't help but fight
With a bottle of Jack and a tin of skoal
I'll be stickin' around
Until the day a man will put me away and I can rest my soul

Well we're all wasted in a bar somewhere downtown
When a man walks up and pokes me with a knife and says
Man, I'm gonna send you to hell
Well I took that knife, I stared him straight in the eyes, I said
Oh, boy this is the day
Then I grabbed that knife, stabbed it straight through my eye and
Then I fell to my knees
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Well I've been drinkin' here for so many damn years
Trying to recap my life
Every night trouble finds my sight and I can't help but fight
With a bottle of Jack and a tin of skoal
Tonight I'm goin' home
Today's the day a man put me away and I can rest my soul
