Lyrics

Highway Café of the Damned (1988)

• I was driving down the interstate through Winslow Arizona, I had seven vices on my mind:
  sloth and avarice
  fornication, television,
  whiskey, beer, and wine.
  • "Highway Café of the Damned"

Lizard Vision (1991)

• Jesus loves me, but he can't stand you.
  • "Jesus Loves Me (But He Can't Stand You)

Paint Me on Velvet (1993)

• All my friends are buried here, and some of them are dead.
  • "That Godforsaken Hellhole I Call Home"

• If I never had existed... would you still remember me?
• "1984 Blues"

Drugs I Need (2006)

• You say your God is the one true God
  but my one God is the one true God,
  I don't want to hear about your one God,
  'cause my one God's the one.
  • "One True God"

• It's hard to find a banjo player up in Heaven —
  There's some things even Jesus won't forgive.
  • "Banjo Pickers in Heaven"
