lyrics

jesco livin' day by day, we go to jesco to get down
jesco's gonna disobey, he don't care whose around
jesco, gonna get down for me jesco
jesco, gonna get down for me jesco
livin' day by day, we go to jesco to get down

=-=-=

you got rose covered up bad boy tattoos
a coal minin' town, with outta work blues.
kinfolk dancin' they sniffin' on glue.
they got em' in cuffs on the evenin' news.

racoons in overall jeans
a street pharmacy make above the law greens.
a legend from the backwoods steppin' to the scene.
tappin' down a creekbridge lettin' off steam.

plywood preacher hollas on the pulpit
sweatin' out, fallin' out in a room.
you got moonshine culprits
huffin' on some gasoline fumes.

tire fires burnin' on the mountainside
shotguns goin' off with a boom.
they say we all christ children.
but a devil child keeps growin' in the womb.

=-=-=
jesco, gonna get down for me jesco
jesco, gonna get down for me jesco
livin' day by day, we go to jesco to get down
=-=

a trailer park smile, cigarette appetite.
no money for groceries... but got em' a sattelite.
if runnin' you're mouth and if it don't sound right.
they show up with they cousins, they finnin' to fistfight.

tire fires burnin' on the mountainside
shotguns goin' off with a boom.
they say we all christ children.
but a devil child keeps growin' in the womb.

=-=-=
oh lord have mercy, oh lord have mercy
keep comin' devil child
