lyrics

"Sid's Ballad"

flea market flannel and a pair of wrangler jeans
if you know what I mean
he's got a pair of old boots, he's kicked every rock down the street
yeah you know what I mean

I mean he wants to be a cowboy
yeah he calls himself redneck Sid
he's just looking for adventure
picking fights with the neighbor kids
yeah he dreams about the outlaws
six shooters and spittin' dip
startin' fires in his front lawn
you can tell he's not fittin' in

a little bit older now he's wishing he was dead
smoking marlboro reds
but the feeling never lasts he's skipping classes on monday
and getting drunk with his buddies

and he still wants to be a cowboy
but now he calls himself heartthrob Sid
he's just looking for adventure
getting trashed with the neighbor kids
he dreams of Becky and her blonde hair
man her parents really hated him
he's doing doughnuts in her front yard
you can tell he doesn't give a shit

but there's no horses in pittsburgh
he's got no pasture to roam
he'll end up trapped in the suburbs
in a modular home

and that's the ballad of Sid
that's the ballad of Sid
and it's a ballad of sin
it's a ballad of sin
and that's the ballad of Sid
that's the ballad of Sid
and it's a ballad of sin
it's a ballad of sin
