I think I swallowed steel wool
I hope I don't pass metal through
Better wash my mouth out with some kerosene
I feel higher from this thinner
Than I ever have from lacquer
Or even huffin' rags of gasoline

Oh, she made me love them
And I dropped my guard down
All the fumes, they tricked me
She haunts my hideouts

Well, there's this cracker standin' on my porch
Leanin' on his welding torch
He asked if Antoinette was still around
At first I thought I wouldn't say
'Cause I haven't seen him much anyway
And then I said I had to put that girl down
Well, I confessed to Cracker that I cried
The day that Antoinette had died
And I should've called, instead I drank his gin
And then I staggered way out back
With a shovel and a pickin' axe
I dug a hole but I couldn't throw her in

Oh, she made me love her
Yeah, I dropped my guard down
All the fumes, they tricked me
She haunts my hideouts
Yeah, she haunts my hideouts
And I dropped my guard down
All the fumes, they tricked me
She haunts my hideouts
Well there's this place near where I used to live
I've driven by but not been in
Lately I thought I'd better grab a drink
Before I walked in through the door
I looked in the window and on the floor
Dancing were my friends and family
My father was a young man there
With smoker's hands and jet black hair
Tellin' jokes and throwin' cash up on the bar
But she was right, I shouldn't be there
'Cause I was cruel and didn't care
And I should rot in Hell alone with both guitars

Well, I've been told by the ones I love
I'd die alone more times than once
Still it hurts to hear, now I'm a softer soul
I can see the future, and I'm way out back
With a shovel and a pickin' axe
All alone, tryin' to dig myself a hole

Ah, she made me love them
And I dropped my guard down
All the fumes, they tricked me
She haunts my hideouts
Yeah, she haunts my hideouts
And I dropped my guard down
Goddamn fumes, they tricked me
She haunts my hideouts [x5]
