My paper cuts have turned maroon 
The color of my bow 
I tied it like a noose today 
And I almost got sent home

'Cause I just sack the groceries here 
And I watch your world go by 
The big black belt keeps turning 'round 
And that southern sun is in my eyes 

And chickens keep on drifting down 
In plastic bags of red 
With turkey necks and smoked hog jowl 
And none of it looks very dead 

And I'm a vegetarian 
And I'm not from the South 
But if I were you, I'd bury them 
Not put them in my mouth 

But I just sack the groceries here 
And I watch your world go by 
The big black belt keeps turning 'round 
And there's something 
Something in my eye 

And Mister is a blind man 
With a smile pure as the Pope 
And as I help him find his way 
He whispers me all his dirty jokes 

He offered me a ruby locket 
One day behind the store 
But he couldn't make me want it 
'Cause I've heard that one before 

And did I come here to chase the truth 
Or to run away from lies?
The big black belt keeps turning 'round 
And I'm so tired I want to cry 

But I met Harlan Howard here 
And I smiled at Lee Sklar 
And now I'll sit and sneak a beer 
While I sing my songs for these dusty cars 

'Cause I just sack the groceries here 
And I watch your world go by 
The big black belt keeps turning 'round 
And maybe so should I
