Ranch Hands Lyrics

My brain is at the Business Inn

Sully's on the chain again

I was waiting on your girlfriend

I'll take the fastest way home

A nail and hammer for my ranch hands

Conscripted staffers wave from the stands

The wounds are fresh, but the laughter is canned

I forgot where the road goes

I try to shrug it off but tonight, it shows

Belly up to the universe, your destiny is your greatest curse

Save a seat for the rest of us, we can hold our breath until we burst

The telegram came in on the breeze

Mama said there'd be days like these

The postscript brought me to my knees

Sometimes I hear you upstairs


Mother Mary, have you lost your nerve?

Well, I think you deserve to know the truth


I wonder why my complexion's bad

If there's a god, did I make her mad?

I can't blame everything on my dad but

Stained glass lives up to its name

I was the last to know when my baby came

So belly up to the universe, your destiny is your greatest curse

Save a seat for the rest of us, we can hold our breath until we burst

Some words just make it worse
