Tell ‘em not to worry Tell ‘em not to care Dogs go howling Even when there’s nothing there Tell ‘em who sent you Tell ‘em who did Tell ‘em when it gets dark Everything’s hid Tell ‘em not to do it Tell ‘em not to go Don’t go barking at the fence Don’t leave tracks in the snow Tell ‘em what you want Tell ‘em I don’t know Johnny Ace with a Jackhammer Prancin' like a dough Tell ‘em whatever You tell ‘em what to say I never did care I never did care anyway Tell ‘em Daddy wasn’t around Tell ‘em momma was a whore Tell ‘em I never looked back Ever since I shut the door Tell ‘em that I never had a name Tell ‘em it wouldn’t matter anyway Say I’ll answer to anything Except someone asking for me to stay Tell ‘em bout my legs When both of them were broke I kept crawlin’ on And I laughed at every joke Tell ‘em what the prophet said About my one good eye That most people don’t see With both open wide Tell ‘em about the scriptures That were read to me When I's on my deathbed Staring at eternity You can tell ‘em what they want to hear Say it with my compliments Tell ‘em things have changed They’re over water and under the fence Go on and tell ‘em what I’ve been through Don’t spare a detail Tell ‘em about the dirt My lost tooth and my broken nail Tell ‘em I’m haunted Haunted by myself Things I’ve seen, I can’t unsee My heart is sitting on the shelf Tell the Doc when you see him He’s as good as dead Nothing now can keep him It’s hard stopping lead Tell ‘em next time you start something You better finish the job There’s nothing more dangerous Than a woman who’s not afraid of the law Tell ‘em my sister’s vanquished Brother’s long gone When there’s nothing left to die for There’s no reason to go on Tell the man at the table Sometimes it’s best to push a pawn But push one too far Let’s get it on! Tell ‘em I can play the guitar I can sing the blues I know you’ve been beat I’ve been beat too Tell ‘em there’s a scar on my hand It’s from an old grudge Hatred never pays off Unless it comes from above Tell ‘em I’m broken hearted But say aren’t we all Tell ‘em I don’t have anything to tell ‘em Nope, not nothing at all
