Oh honey take me out Im a deadman
Oh baby bake me something sweet
Oh honey take me out Im a deadman
Oh baby give me bread to eat
There are places in the damp Northwest where
The bodies lie down head to feet
There were losses in the California sunshine
Tell you stories that you cant repeat
In the winter when the valleys flooded
Those were times where the rooms were cheap
The summer dirt lines the corners of your pockets
Im still buried there ten feet deep
Papa dont place this curse on me
Heaven knows I cant use it
Papa dont place this stone on me
Mama theres no future in it
We travel on the back roads lightly
Through Castle City and through the hills beyond
Me and Joan on the Sacramento
Me and Joan this is where were from
Oh honey take me out Im a deadman
Oh baby bake me something sweet
Oh honey take me out Im a deadman
Oh baby give me bread to eat
Papa dont place this curse on me
Heaven knows I cant use it
Papa dont place this curse on me
Mama theres no future in it
Oh honey take me out Im a deadman
Oh baby bake me something sweet
Oh honey take me out Im a deadman
Oh baby give me bread to eat
