about

Sometimes you gotta let yourself be something different. Sometimes, you got no choice.

lyrics

Never Have I evr Been a Possum in a tree
but I migh'tve played dead a time or three
Lord, Never. Never Have I Ever
Never have I ever been who I am where I am right now.

Never Have I ever Been so Far South
That Orion's Belt hung upside Down
Lord Never.
Never Have I ever
Never Have I ever been who I am where I am right now.

Chrs:
Never have I danced like a broke-back mule
just bucking and jiving like a Gosh darned fool
Spitting out the bit
Slipping out the saddle
braying sideways at the slack jawed cattle
Never have I ever been who I am, where I am right now.

Never have I ever sung a song to the moon
s neighbors shushed me out the window not a time or two
Lord Never. Never have I ever
Never have I ever been who I am Where I am right now.

Chrs:
Never have I danced like a broke-back mule
just bucking and jiving like a Gosh darned fool
Spitting out the bit
Slipping out the saddle
braying sideways at the slack jawed cattle

Lord Never. Never have I ever.
Never have I ever been who I am, where I am

Break you off a piece baby
stick it in your frying pan.

Never have I ever been who I am, where I am right now.
