Drive By Truckers Aftermath Usa Lyrics

Aftermath Usa Lyrics

When I crawled out of bed this morning

I could tell something wasn't
right

There were cigarettes in the ashtrays

They weren't your
menthol lights

There were beer bottles in the kitchen

And broken
glass on the floor

Someone must have slipped me something

Passed
out a couple days before



The car was in the carport sideways

Big dent running down the side

Never seen anything as frightening

As when I took a look inside

Smell of musk and deception

Heel
marks on the roof-line

Bad music on the stereo

All the seats in
recline



The aftermath staring me right in the face

I'll get
around to breaking even one of these days



My credit cards have all
been maxed out

The meat in my freezer all thawed

The IRS laid the
facts out

It's all worse than I thought

The welfare lady said
enough is enough

The kids ain't been to school in weeks



Crystal-meth in the bathtub

Blood splattered in my sink

Laying
around in the aftermath

It's all worse than you think
