BOYS FOR PELE
Lyrics

 

B-SIDES

Little Amsterdam
 
Little Amsterdam in a southern town
Hominy get it on the plate girl
Momma keep your head down
Momma it wasn’t my bullet
 
Don’t take me back to the Range
Back to the Range
I’m just coming out of the cell in my brain
Don’t, don’t take me back to the Range
Back to the Range
Girl you got to know these days which side you’re on
 
Mmm, oh, na, na, na, na, na
Mmm, oh, na, na, na, na, na
 
Momma got shit
She loved a brown man then she built a bridge in the Sheriff’s bec
She’d do anything to save her man
You see her olives
They are cold pressed and her best friend is a sun dress
But Momma it wasn’t my bullet, oh, oh
 
Don’t take me back to the Range
Back to the Range
I’m just coming out of the cell in my brain
 
Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

 

All alone got a girl in the city
Hey got a room and a place for two
Got a goat and a fawn
I said boy you are my 5th Avenue
 
Round and around and around I go
Round and around this time for keeps
Round and around and around I go
Round and around this time for keeps
Father only you can save my soul and playing that organ must count for something, something
Girl you got to know these days which side you’re on
 
Little Amsterdam shut down today
They buried her with a butter bean bouquet
And the Sheriff now can’t ride away like he said into the sunset
And I won’t say that he shouldna paid
But Momma it wasn’t my bullet
