lyrics

WICKED BUMMER WHEN THE OLD MAN FELL
Rippin’ E Brakes and hammerin’ up a logging trail
Drinking cold Budweiser riding shotgun with my buddy Neil
OH WELL
IT WAS A WICKED BUMMER WHEN THE OLD MAN FELL
I remember those days, it’s tough when you’re 22
It was a time of war and I was confused
OH WELL
IT WAS A WICKED BUMMER WHEN THE OLD MAN FELL
I liked this chick but my buddy bought her fare and square
He buys her cigarettes and she smokes a high-class brand
OH WELL
IT WAS A WICKED BUMMER WHEN THE OLD MAN FELL
I was a little kid looking up at him thinking he’d never break
Then those rocks slide, they came tumbling down and he lost his face
When the Old Man fell it really shook this place

Who knows what’s going to go down in this heat
The crazy summer air is waving on the black concrete
OH WELL
IT WAS A WICKED BUMMER WHEN THE OLD MAN FELL
My Uncle Hank died before they lifted the curse
If there’s a radio in Hell then I’m sure he heard
OH WELL
IT WAS A WICKED BUMMER WHEN THE OLD MAN FELL
