lyrics

Jan split the scene when she turned seventeen
Her dad was a wretch and her mom was just mean
Moved in with someone that she’d met at school
Three times the wretch and three times as cruel

She had no lovers, just nightly guests
All the townspeople said she’s a hot mess
Drinking straight whiskey with watered down men
She’ll let them let her down once again

A bureaucrat in a white cowboy hat
Promised her this and he promised her that
But she could not see the ghost of his ring
To her it was love to him just a fling

She had no lovers, just nightly guests
All the townspeople said she’s a hot mess
Drinking straight whiskey with watered down men
She’ll let them let her down once again

A lethal force hero to whom she was wed
Promised her safety and a soft warm bed
They’d yell at each other ‘til they were horse
Six months of fighting, they got a divorce

She had no lovers, just nightly guests
All the townspeople said she’s a hot mess
Drinking straight whiskey with watered down men
She’ll let them let her down once again

Used by the cursed and judged by the blessed
Kite in a tempest. But soon she would rest
She couldn’t handle what the good lord gave
No one brought flowers to her unmarked grave

She had no lovers, just nightly guests
All the townspeople said she’s a hot mess
Drinking straight whiskey with watered down men
She’ll let them let her down once again

GET RUDE!
by Dan O'Connell & The Cast Of 1,000s

Dan O'Connell is an old friend and long time collaborator, but before I'd even met "Danimal", he was recording some parody, novelty and good ol' pop songs all on his lonesome. Rubberstamp Records

Songs From Your Face

Jeffy makes four-trackin' fun. Each cassette he sells has a one-of-a-kind collage for art. Rubberstamp Records
