Matthew
Timothy Tyler Childers
Works the night shift at the depot
With a pistol and a light
And he guards them rusted missiles
Countin' whitetail to pass the time
And he's worked there for a long while
Since he came home from overseas
Helpin' Kilcorn fight the good fight
And bring Baghdad to its knees
And it was hotter than the mountain
But it weren't so he couldn't stand
And it weren't so much the heat wave
Nearly as much as all the sand
Now his daddy, he's a lockman
With a good leg and a fake
That he got off of a buddy
And a shitshot that he made
And he worked them hands to splinters
And he raised them youngins right
On a little bit of scripture
And an acreage of paradise
And he'd go out on the weekends
And he played like Clarence White
Clarence, but had a real job
Picked the guitar when there was time
Keeps a trap line in the winter
Keeps a line wet in the spring
On a lock wall fishin' muskie
With his eldest and Steve
And they swap tales about their raisin'
And they tell the office lies
And they go home when they've the notion
And the muskie quit bitin'

And bring Baghdad to its knees
Und bringt Bagdad auf die Knie
And it was hotter than the mountain
Und es war heißer als der Berg
But it weren't so he couldn't stand
Aber es war nicht so, dass er es nicht aushalten konnte
And it weren't so much the heat wave
Und es war nicht so sehr die Hitzewelle

Fast so viel wie all der Sand

Jetzt ist sein Vater ein Schleusenwärter
