Dean Johanesen - The Ballad of Indiana Ford

CHORUS 1 - INTRO
8 ball corner pocket Bad shot should have never called it
The less you say the better you’ll be in for nasty weather
Take it from me and my male patterned bald tire tail light guarantee

VERSE 1
he’s a two timing frog that lost a leg he had a jump on them all till he ate the cake
They fattened up the hog so he (couldn't) wouldn't run
another daddy's gone well son of a gun (the ballad of Indiana Ford)

He'd Like to shoot you straight but that aint his line He’s a trigger hair away from doing time
He pulls low to the left (almost every time) or I’d rob you blind
Right out of the gate he’s way behind the ballad of Indiana Ford

CHORUS 2
(He says) The Bars around here close way too early The bouncer called me me mister but I’m feeling surly
I’d rather put up a fight than to give up on this night
Take it from me we'll sleep better with 3 hots in a cot downtown for free


VERSE 2
Spare the rod and you’ll watch them run wild I like my cigarettes unfiltered and mild
there's a beer in the back seat climb over and get it
If you make me pull over you’re gonna regret it (the) ballad of Indiana Ford)

There's a knot hole on the living room wall I keep them standing right there until they're ready to fall
When I grew up we were seen and not heard Clip those feathers and cage that (song) bird
the ballad of Indiana Ford

CHORUS 3
Fruit tree apples are falling not far from the ones that are rotting
The bunch doesn't much better when you penn them up together
Take it from me and my sir you have a collect call from prison family

OUTRO
Blue collar column shifter where’d you get that pickup mister
Holes in the floorboards and doors that just won't stay shut

Mud splashed the dash and even got in Moms lashes and on her brand new dress
on the way to pizza hut buffet

But that old Ford made it through the blizzard of 78 in Ft Wayne Indiana
Which is more than he could say for anything that's driven in or out of his life

CHORUS 1 to end
8 ball corner pocket Bad shot should have never called it
The less you say the better you’ll be in for nasty weather
Take it from me and my male patterned bald tire tail light guarantee
Indiana Ford...
