Description
I've had a bunch of stories floating around in my head lately, and this is one of them. Like all of my songs, this is partly true and partly imagined. I've been this guy, and i know this guy. I emphasize with him, but i know he's full of shit.
Musically, this was a chance to use all of my guitars, trying to figure out where each one begins and ends. And another attempt at 'tempie country'. I feel like this tune is the logical follow up to the truckin' song. Also, this isn't 'country western'. It's country rock maybe. Or alt-country. Country western is a bit grand for this.

Lyrics
i got a wife down there in newport news
married out of high school
knocked her up my senior year
love sick and playing the fool
settled down to raise the kid
got a shipyard job
but a disappointed girl
and a crying child
weren't worth the price of my hot rod
cause i'm a home wrecker
i wreck my home
aint a house been built
that i can't bring down to the ground
like nothing doing
yeah i'm a home wrecker
i wreck my home
they say i like to travel
but i only hit the gravel
when somebody tells me go
got a buddy down there in stephen's city
i stayed with for a while
slept on a chair in his living room
most afternoons you know
just living loose and wild
he lived with his sister man she didn't like me none
i couldn't say
i disagreed
she moved in with a girlfriend
and my buddy laughed it off
but i could feel
him eyeing me
cause i'm a home wrecker
i wreck my home
aint a house been built that i can't
bring down to the ground like nothing doing
yeah i'm a home wrecker
i wreck my home
they say i like to travel
but i only hit the gravel
when somebody tells me go
when i was fifteen
one of my mom's boyfriends
said i'll do what i want with your mother
i waited till he fell asleep on the couch
and i worked him over with a louisville slugger
mama said now why'd you do that?
i wiped the blood off the bat and said...
