Mean Streak

(album: Revenge Of The Mountain Medley - 2021)

Found bravery in bottles
Before I threw it up
And patience in the time it takes to try and sober up
Thought if if I could settle down that they would let me off the hook
Found out that preacher's daughters aren't the angels that they look

Got on the straight and narrow
Drove it 90 days
Pulled up the drive in time to watch that U-Haul drive away
They're making trouble faster
Than I can make my bail
I won't touch that holy water
Till I'm done raising hell

Fate is a nice girl
But she's got a mean streak
So let that thunder roll until it's gone
She'll turn a love song
Into the Jaws theme
And she won't bat an eye
To get you satisfied
Then soak and set a fire to your throne

Found Jesus playing poker
With the devil in my mind
He said "I just be the farm, can you come back another time?"
And if I don't leave you nothing
Then walk away with this
I tried to take the high road
And flew right off the cliff

Fate is a nice girl
But she's got a mean streak
So let that thunder roll until it's gone
She'll turn a love song
Into the Jaws theme
And she won't bat an eye
To get you satisfied
Then soak and set a fire to your throne
