Trashy Songtext
von Widespread Panic

Well, I need to save some cash to buy a used old pickup truck
To drive me into town and try my luck
Well, even if she′s rusted through, she'll shake loose where I′m stuck
I'll cross the cosmos when I buy my truck

My neighbor, he's been cooking methedrine
The vapors seem to make my beagles mean
Oh, now living here on this street, every night is Halloween
My neighbor turns on all the trick-or-treaters with high voltage jelly beans

I′m telling you, we′re trashy but we're true
We all understand each other when we have the blues
Well, sometimes when we′re lowdown, we're levitating too
We′re the lucky ones, we're trashy but we′re true
Oh, how 'bout you?

Baby, come on, take a walk around my yard
I got some salvage tombstones and some crashed up cars
All the weeds are tall back here because hey man, cutting grass is hard
I just like to take it easy in my yard


Oh, 'cause my yard is a tribute to my past
You shoulda seen those cars when they hauled ass
And right beneath this driver′s seat, I keep a little stash
Let′s get on now and rev on that time travel boogie blast

But I'm telling you, we′re trashy but we're true
Oh, we all understand each other when we have the blues
Where even when we′re lowdown, we're levitating too
We′re the lucky ones, we're trashy but we're true

We′re the politicians can′t fool, the country kids like me and you
So baby, we should draw the shades and stay a week or two
In bed 'til we remember what we both already knew
And we′re the lucky ones
Oh, oh, we're the lucky ones

Oh, right here in my house are my guitars
They took me on the road, we traveled far
Oh, wild eye love and getting high
Just trucks and cars and my guitars
That′s my recipe for life so far

Here's now, one man′s trash is another man's roller coaster
Just like my 1972 Led Zeppelin blacklight poster
Well it fits right in my life 'cause I′m a beat-up rock and roll ghoster
But right now baby, let′s just climb back up on that roller coaster


I'm telling you, we′re trashy but we're true
We all understand each other when we got the blues
Sometimes when we′re lowdown, we are levitating too
We're the lucky ones, we′re trashy but we're true

I'm telling you, we′re trashy but we′re true
We all understand each other when we got the blues
Sometimes when we're lowdown, we′re levitating too
We're the lucky ones, we′re trashy but we're true
Yeah, oh, we′re the lucky ones, we're trashy but we're true

Oh, we′re the lucky ones
Oh, no, no, no, lucky ones
