MEXICAN TROUT
 
Marcus Hummon
Stuart Adamson
 
Fly fishing on the Big South Fork
Sound of a shot gun shell report

One if by air, two if by land
Helicopter bringing up the ATF man

Beeper's buzzin' in overalls
Pension funds crash and they fall

Tears dropping in New York...
Buds are burning on the South Fork

CHORUS
     Half a mil', smoke in the hills
     It used to be grandpa's rusty still
     The almighty dollar making the world go around...
     And I think I hooked me a Mexican Trout...

Smoke drifting on the river bed
Stinging my eyes, going to my head

Belly up trout, finning and a grinning
I'm bare handed lifting my limit...

Fry those fish over hickory chips
Sweet pink flesh make me lick my lips

Laying in the grass, feeling no pain,
Cheap fireworks light up my brain

REPEAT CHORUS
 
Wake up in a sweat, mouth gone dry
Man on the ground, chopper in the sky...

Feds leaving, willy nilly
Got themselves a corporate hillbillly...
And it’s...

REPEAT CHORUS
