lyrics
Trying on her mother's wedding dress
Hand-me-downs don't fit so well
Got a motel room & a Gideon
Got a .45 & a senseless virgin
...and no one's going to need you like I need you to scream
Her father has the preacher's seat & knows
just where the deacons drink & they know everything
Eve's first failure on everybody's mind, guess I'll be William Tell
Got some Old Crow & some time to kill
Got a place in mind at the old landfill
...but no one's going to need you like I need you to bleed
Her uncles have the county seats & know
just where the cops all drink & they'll shoot anything
And the town square is surrounded
by the barricades that used to deviate the lanes
Now it's a killing field where blood makes the grass grow
to cover up what time had to conceal
Empty the chambers & watch those tracers find a place where they can rest
Make sure she's buried in that dress
