Big Smith Dirty Old James
When you were young and a steady man
Runnin' so strong didn't give a damn
You shone in the sun roared in the rain
You'd hide in the hills and drip through the veins
But the last few years you been chemified
Just about killed everything inside
You get it from the Finley
You get it from the Crane
You get all the shit that runs down the drain
But it ain't your fault you ain't to blame
You just run run run run on James
Dirty old James
It gets in your skin it flows up your arms
It's the shit that you get from the county farms
It's thick in your back
It sticks in your mouth
It's the stuff you snuff when you're headin' down south
But it ain't your fault you ain't to blame
You just run run run run on James
Dirty old James
You rise in the spring you die in the fall
You gotta learn how to creep before you can crawl
If you're too far gone to help yourself
Then you better get your help from somebody else
But it ain't your fault you ain't to blame
You just run run run run on James
Dirty old James
