Tennessee's Shrinking

from Thanksgiving by The Whale & The Warbler

/

lyrics

Davey Crocket,

Where will you go now that the elections here over? No one wants you around. They're all scared of your temper, you're rifle, you're whiskey breath. All your talk about Indians is making them restless. Tennessee's shrinking, you're no longer welcome. 'Cause you're a colt when you're drinking, cause you're a danger to everyone. You should head west to Texas, into San Antonio. Fight for your republic, with the cowboys and blood red stone.

When the coyotes start coming, shoot them straight in the heart. Because they'll do the same to you if you let your guard down. Davey, they will do the same to you.

The darkness keeps coming from behind the pueblos. All the buzzards keep circling to swoop in when you let go, so don't let go, Davey. Don't you die at the Alamo. Someone still loves you through the drinking and cold shoulders that you gave us when you left here, with a gun on your back.

You've got strong hands, but your hearts made of glass. It's such a big heart, but it's weighing you down.
