Mascoutah Blues Lyrics

Mascoutah Blues

It ain't that hard to get Mascoutah Blues

Every time that your heart falls through your shoes

From the Moto-mart to the hardware store

It don't take much to make you want some more

And it don't take much to get Mascoutah Blues

It ain't too hard to get Mascoutah wrong

Just a backwards town a place you've been too long

You live your life in peace but it's getting shorter

Renting a house in the development corridor

It ain't that hard to get Mascoutah Blues

I took my wife to the best Mascoutah Bars

We drank all night and then stared up at the stars

A three piece insect ragtime band

A bullfrog singing baby take my hand

It ain't that hard to get Mascoutah Blues

You'll find my sweetheart there in her underwear

Eating chocolate cover iced cream

She's my better half and I have to laugh

Because it feels like someone else's dream

When she lifts her leg and I start to beg

For her stockings or just a seam

I find that it ain't so bad

It's the best I've ever had

When I get Mascoutah Blues

We bought a house in a north Mascoutah field

A brand new car and power tools that squealed

A wardrobe from a downtown store

Building our future and staying poor

It ain't that hard to get Mascoutah Blues

I was pulling weeds in my green Mascoutah yard

Edging the driveway and feeling quite off guard

Working hard and living clean

I found myself in a suburban dream

It ain't that hard to get Mascoutah Blues

The years have passed I'm an old Mascoutah man

I fry my bacon in a German frying pan

I can't sleep at night so I wash my car

Have a beer at the reflections bar

It ain't that hard to get Mascoutah Blues

You'll find my sweetheart there in her underwear

Eating chocolate cover iced cream

She's my better half and I have to laugh

Because it feels like someone else's dream

When she lifts her leg and I start to beg

For her stockings or just a seam

I find that it ain't so bad

It's the best I've ever had

When I get Mascoutah Blues

From the Moto-mart to the hardware store

It don't take much to make you want some more

And it don't take much to get Mascoutah Blues
