lyrics

He's a methamphetamine cowboy
Lord he don't know how
He don't know why
Methamphetamine cowboy
at the pearly gates he'll tell 'em
"Hell Gus, I didn't see no line"

Years ago some pusher tried to jame the cowboy up
The meth cook from Tecumseh widely feared was Jesco Rusk
But cowboy owned 10 sections full of wells out on the plains
It was there they say that Jesco died inside a world of pain

He'll ride the reaper bareback to the halls of kingdom come
He lives his life with no kind of regrets for what he's done
The skies are filled with big black plumes of smoke outside of town
Cowboy had to set the story straight for some damn clown

He's a battle hardened matador, his pain is your disease
He beckons death to call and has to fuck all that he sees
He's a self created monster and he don't know when to quit
Lord he tried to do what's right but then it all just went to shit

He cuts a ganglion cyst from his wrist with a buck knife, wraps it up in duct tape then he drives all through the night
With a nose that's full of powder and a heart so full of crime
He spurs his red-eyed pony to the pits of hell on time
