Lyrics
BOILS DOWN TO BLOOD Ain’t no more china -- just silver spoons on paper plates It’s the price you’re made to pay for being late Pull up a barstool -- the twins can take the piano bench Slide a little tighter now, and don’t complain It was quite the scene when Maybelle got to Abilene Cause kids they say the damnedest things Like “Mama’s got a baby in her belly comin’ soon” And the dinner stopped dead, they all turned their heads And Papa spit his water ‘coss the turkey and the bread It boils down to blood -- yeah, in the end It boils down to blood -- yeah well, it’s boiled down again It’s just a conversation -- the lady at the bar looked bored So he stumbled on to share a few choice words A hand in his pocket -- and one hand there on her knee A hand on his shoulder -- oops, that makes three He could hear it first before he felt the bottle burst Hank Williams sayin’ it could be worse The jukebox singing softly ‘bout the family and the curse And it was more than luck when the boots let up It’s his brother standin’ over with the shovel from the truck It boils down to blood -- yeah, in the end It boils down to blood -- yeah well, it’s boiled down again It was damn near midnight -- who the hell would knock this late Answered in a dumb and angry daze Standin’ out in her bathrobe, arms tied across her chest And all her eyes could say was: “Casey’s left” Well come in girl, we’ll set a pot of tea to boil I guess we’ll burn the midnight oil Damn the man can’t handle when he’s got a thing too good And she cried all night -- she was askin’ why Well honey I don’t know, but honey I know we’ll be alright Cause it boils down to blood -- yeah, in the end It boils down to blood -- yeah well, now let’s boil it down again Copyright 2003.
