Lyrics and music by Dave Green and Nikki Rice
lyrics
When I was 16, I wore dirty overall
to tell the truth, I was dirty overall
Sneakin' peeks at the boys in study hall
I couldn't stand them, couldn't stand at all
Weighed down, by temptation
Was a sinner, but I knew the good book
I didn't read it, but I gave it a good look
read the gospel and I learned all the hymns
like the sword and the bush I burned for Him
Lust born of piety
Hey, mister, he'll take you where you wanna go
hey, mister, there's somethin' that you should know
well, he would do most anything
to make this country trade
but, tonight, he's only going partway
Don't ya know? I could've been his son
his silver beard goin' gold in the sun
Workin' hard, like a brother by my side
'til the day he offered me a ride
Curiosity reigned
Stopped his truck down by the riverside
in a flash, we were naked side by side
wasn't time to question what it was
this country trade got the best of both of us
That night, I went all in
Hey, mister, he'll take you where you wanna go
hey, mister, there's somethin' that you should know
well, he would do most anything to make this country trade
but, tonight, he's only going partway
Next day, I threw away my overalls
got a tune-up, got a total overhaul
Forgot about all the boys in study hall
Guess it seems I wasn't dirty after all
Partway to salvation
Hey, mister, he'll take you where you wanna go
hey, mister, there's somethin' that you should know
well, he would do most anything to make this country trade
but, tonight, he's only going partway

Lyrics and music by Crystal Gravy
Dave Green, vocals and guitar
Nikki Rice, vocals and keytar
Crystal Gravy is a love-struck duet from DeKalb, Illinois, made up of lifelong musicians, Dave Green and Nikki Rice. They
use strong vocal harmonies, along with guitars, piano, and keytar, to construct original songs with biting lyrics and catchy melodies. They like to describe their genre of music as "anthemic duetism."...more
Brilliant lyrics, catchy-as-fuck hooks, the beats that make your body move, and a devastatingly attractive singer... The RPMs bury all the hearts. <3 Crystal Gravy
Dead Drugs is a killer one man band garage rocker who gives hugs that are as fulfilling as his sincerely awesome music. Who could ask for anything more? Crystal Gravy
