swollen face blues

swollen face blues
payin yer dues
as you face the pain
no way to regain
your composure
it's a total closure
of sanity
the calamity
grips your soul
as you try to eat
swollen face jaw
just can't compete
can't sing
can't hardly talk
hell you feel so bad
can't hardly walk
but it's alright
it's ok
if you drive down to columbus
they'll check you out for free today
at first it was just
a little pain
somethin you could easily explain
didn't think your jaw was bust
tried to sing through a show
did it without any real problems
managed to muscle through, that's how it goes
she knows how to solve them
booked a gig in a pair of weeks
i can't really speak
my first one
she just did it for fun
we'll get that tooth sorted out
that's the truth we'll cycle around
get down to the columbus square
get her tooth taken out down there
and things'll be pretty fuckin good
as you head down there you'll remember yer hood
she grew up there for many years
then went on a trip drank many beers
now she swears off the stuff
makes a strange face when you give her some
but that's alright cause she's pretty sweet
a friendly face im glad to greet
