The Ballad of Mitchie Beerwagen

from War Wagon by Lüt

/

lyrics

it was a bright september day back in ought four
he was hunting out past old state road with beans, his rabbit dog
you should have seen the sight just down up the dirt road
young lady leaning on a plymouth horizon all caught up in the mud

then beans looked over to him & mitchie glanced back
just then they knew what had to be done to get her back on track
she was so grateful for what they had done
she thanked young mitchie right then & there he sent old beans on a run

he’s been with her for 6 months now a hilltown beauty queen
shooting cans from his daddy’s hand all now seems just like a dream
he was a good lookin’ kid never ‘shamed what he done
was him & beans for the longest time, here come a pretty lady with a forked tongue

woah-oh, someone hitting the road tonight
woah-oh someone getting itchy
whatever happened to mitchie? he was so young
he’s a-blazin toward a western showdown
throwing caution in the sun

a couple years’ve gone by now she & mitchie moved in
but him & beans still out shooting frogs & playing with road-kill remains

mitchie been getting the bug, I’m not talking VD
her yapper going both morning, noon & night, it might’ve even upset poor beans

now the doors is a slammin’ romance battered and torn
it’s either go down in flames with the ship or bail out on his own

woah-oh, throwing down some o’douls tonight, woah-oh, driving into the city
she was yap, yappin’ at mitchie ever since he was young
mitchie’s not much for talking now unless them fighting words being slung
whatever happened to mitchie? he was so young
woke up on the wrong side of kansas & he knew his race was run
