Razorburn Blues

Got the razorburn blues they cost me 10 dollars
going down gonna get that mother-for-you holler
be strutting my stuff all along the way
oh, I’ll be strutting my stuff I mean along the way

Got the razorburn blues, everybody knows
come to see you Daddy in my Saturday clothes
but you always wearing your Tuesday overalls
and you always wearing your Tuesday overalls \

I've been zipped up tucked in
pulled back drawn thin
painted on sucked in
brushed on squeezed in
covered up touched up
perfumed shined up
ripped off flattened down
lowered down chopped up
channeled through shined up
smacked around shut up
decorated laminated underappreciated

Now your momma don’t mind if you swing it around
you can take it and carry it all the way downtown
I’m dying by the hour
got the razorburn blues
I’m dying by the good lord hour
