Hop Along - Texas Funeral Lyrics






My son is waiting on me
And he ain't a patient man
Go and get the sheriff
Tell him anything you can
(Just get him)

Burned myself on this cast iron panhandle
Long before you came
Love was never the subject
(Couldn't talk about my mother to him)

Remember seeing Shirley in the oil fountain?
What a woman dancing!
I just wanted a happy ending
(For your little sister, wherever she is)

Don’t be so sad just 'cause you lost to your old man
Man, man

'Cause none of this is gonna happen to me
None of this is gonna happen to me
None of this is gonna happen to me within my lifetime

Aren't you sick to death of the word inheritance?
It's with your great-grandparents
You've inherited the wind, fool
I hope you enjoy it
I hope you enjoy it

But I'm going out flipping the bird to California
Keep your melting stars!
I followed all the rules
I wasn't the one who turned the screw so hard

We have a great wanting in common
Common, common

But none of this is gonna happen to me
None of this is gonna happen to me
None of this is gonna happen to me within my lifetime

None of this is gonna happen to me
None of this is gonna happen to me
None of this is gonna happen to me within my lifetime

  1. M.... C....

    The drum performance is as if Matt Cameron and Matt Chamberlain's playing had a baby and this was the splendid result.....

  2. R.... S....

    Just a amazing song! It’s cool to just hear a great alternative song again; like a make your feet tap, inspire passion, stuck in your head all day kind of melody with great lyrics. Their few and far between it seems anymore.

  3. H.... S....

    I cannot get over how fantastic her voice is.

  4. H.... H....

    the best jam

  5. D.... W....

    LOVE these vocals

  6. M.... R....

    damn this sounds kinda Cranberries-esque to me

  7. S.... Y....

    her voice sounds so sincere

  8. S.... B....

    This song quite possibly contains the worst guitar solo in the history of shitty guitar solos. Good band though.

    S.... B....

    +The Beach Villain nah it's got nothing on any pavement solo. i give it a B as far as shitty solos go

    S.... B....

    soooo true. I never thought that until now and i cant un-hear it

    S.... B....

    The Beach Villain nah the guitar player was in a band called Algernon Cadwallader who has really complex guitar structures he could definitely rip pentatonic bullshit but he made a unique solo that fit the vibe of the song

  9. C.... Y....

    "Aren't you sick to death of the word inhereitence? It's with your great grandparents. You've inherited the wind fool, I hope you enjoy it."

  10. r.... ....

    GREAT band

  11. p.... m....

    i'd argue that this is the best alternative album of the year

  12. A.... L....

    Heard this on the radio. 89.9 San Marcos, TX station KTSW.

    A.... L....

    Weird... I heard it for the first time today and it was playing on 89.9 in St. Louis, MO... Lindenwood College's radio station. Could be an epidemic.

    A.... L....

    +Badly Drawn Girl That IS weird! haha the station I heard it on is the Texas State University's college radio.

    A.... L....

    +Anthony Leal college stations rule

    A.... L....

    @2degucitas very much so!!!

  13. O.... w....

    This is the beez knees

  14. G.... R....

    The Breeders anyone?

    G.... R....

    @Gustavo Rodriguez observation upheld!

    G.... R....

    @Gustavo Rodriguez i thought the same thing but the bassline is too bright for josephine wiggs. badass song though! :P

  15. C.... ....
