Shadow Of Tom

E Bm Well I poked my lighter through a hurricane hole D C B Drinking champagne from a turtle shell bowl E Bm I grabbed on the hook of his big fishing rod D C B E I'm holding my breath in the shadow of Tom Well I starred in a puppet show in an alleyway Built a king size bed from a bale of hay The sun is sweat and the moon is blood They all get eclipsed in the shadow of Tom D E C D Stereo blaring just as loud as it can D E Tom's the only one who really understands And I'm shuffling cards in an interstate town I got my shoes shined by a one eyed clown Gas station coffee ain't never too hot I'm running on fumes in the shadow of Tom There's a homemade scarecrow beating on a drum A dead drunk preacher is cleaning his guns Whiskey and dust and it's name is Mud Spouted from the pulpit in the shadow of Tom Then I fetched my daddy a hickory stick Every time I cuss an unborn baby kicks Daddy's gonna have to hit me really really hard To end my time in the shadow of Tom
