SIN WAGON


He pushed me 'round now I'm drawin' the line
He lived his life, now I'm gonna go live mine
I'm sick on wastin' my time
Well now I've been good for way too long
Found my red dress and I'm gonna throw it on
'Bout to get too far gone.

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Need a little bit more of my twelve ounce nutrition
One more helpin' of what I've been havin'
I'm takin' my turn on the sin wagon

On a mission to make something happen
Feel like Delilah lookin' for Samson.
Do a little mattress dancin'.
That's right I said mattress dancin'.

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Need a little bit more of what I've been missin'
I don't know where I'll be crashin'
But I'm arrivin' on a sin wagon!

When it's my turn to march up to glory
I'm gonna have one hell of a story
That's if he forgives me

Oh lord please forgive me

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Need a little bit more of that sweet salvation
They may take me with my feet draggin'
But I'll fly away on a sin wagon

I'll fly away on a sin wagon!



Because we sure do loves us some Dixie Chicks.

Because I don’t know if the DC came up with the phrase “Sin Wagon” but if they did, it still sounds like something that’s been around forever. That’s fucking good writing. You take “sin” (aka, “fun”) and wagon (cowboys, Wild West, fringe). Smush them together and what’s not to love?

Because while I don’t so much “ride” the Wagon anymore as much as “wave it off to the sunset”, I sure do remember that feeling. Saturday Night, have a drink, crank up the music while you decide what to wear. Yee-ha!

Please, please forgive me Lord but pass the ammunition. If you’re under 30(ish) and reading this, here’s some advice : Restraint is way overrated. See those initials carved underneath your seat on the Sin Wagon? That was me. Good luck with your trip.
