Drive-By Truckers – Primer Coat Lyrics
Artist: Drive-By Truckers
Song: Primer Coat
The old man’s out by the swimming pool, he goes there to think
He talks on the phone sometimes, hardly mentions a thing
Said he needed it for his knees, he used to swim back in school
Graduated in 84, quit drinking in 92
He used to call her a basket case for hanging on like she did
The only girl of a foreman’s wife She’d never let him forget
It comes to women and they survive but when the same comes to men
Someone comes for their babies something dies there and then
Slinging gravel in parking lots and looking tough on the hood
A girl as plain as a primer coat leaves nothing misunderstood
Her mother and I through trembling lips, a steady hand on his own
The future of every rebel cause, when all the fight in him is gone
My sister’s marrying in the spring and everything will be fine
Mama’s planning the wedding, Daddy’s planning on crying
She’s slipping out of her apron strings, you best leave him be
He’s staring through his own taillights and gathering speed
