Waits, Tom - Wrong Side Of The Road Lyrics
put a dead cat on the railraod tracks
when the wolf bains blooming by the tressel
and get the eyeball of a rooster
and the stones from a ditch
and wash em down with bilge water
take the buttons from a yellow jacket
the feather from a buzzard
and the blood from the bounty hunters cold black heart
catch the tears of a window
in a thimble made ofglass
tell your mamaand your papa
theycan kiss your ass
poison all the water in the wishin' well
and hang all them scarecrows from a sycamore tree
burn down all those honeymoons
and wait next to the switch blades at the amusements park for me
strangle all the cristmas carols
scratch out all you prayers
tie em up with barbed wire
and push them down the stairs
and i'll whittle you a pistol
for reepin' nightmares off the blinds
those sunsabitches always seem to sneak up from behind
syphom all the gas from your daddys pickup truck
fill up jonnys t bird
i got a couple bucks
put on little perfume and ribbon in your hair
careful that you don't wake up the hounds
tear a bolt of lightning
off the side of the sky
and throw in the cedar chest
if you want me to tell you why
bring the gear shift knob from a 49 mere
and lay down here beside me
let me hold you in the dirt
and you'll tremble as the flames
tear the throat out of the night
sink your teeth into my shoulder
dig your nails into my back
tell that lettle girl to let go of my sleeve
you'll be awoman when i catch you
as you faqll in love with me
then with my double barrel shotgun
and a whole box of shells
we'll celebrate the 4 of july
we'll do 100 mph
spendin' someone elses dough
and we'll drive all the way to reno
on the wrong side of the road

Waits, Tom Wrong Side Of The Road Comments
recently discovered this man,
he keeps killing me,
again and again.
I love this phase, he was in a zone.
That’s reminds me 25 years back, every morning driving back to home on my bike .... cold mornings , people just awaken hurry to work, me, just done my shift ends, last whisky and cool biking... there was a time where everything was completely like wearing the inside out ...
His music is like a good old cognac! makes you feel warm and intoxicated!
I'm was laughing so hard I was crying (RAILROAD TRAXXXXSSSSSSSS)
The best Tom Waits song.
babacim
this blows
Love good jazz, Tom Waits is the ticket💋
I wish I could sing like this
oh man, tom waits is just so freaking brilliant!
This song makes me wanna light a cig on the wrong side of the road.
seria re pro ir escuchando esta cancion y apagarle u cigarro en el ojo de alguno de uds pobres diablos
Tom Waits ..the best...I like it
Fantastico
Widow not Window. Merc not Mere.
All the way to Roswell on the wrong side
Tom waits is so awesome
The first Tom Waits song and I was hooked for life :)
0:39: He sounds a little like Louis Armstrong. Specially when he sing "ditch". Just my opinion.
A lot, really 😄
More accurate lyrics!
"Wrong Side Of The Road"
Tom Waites
---
Well put a dead cat on the railroad tracks
Wolf bains blooming by the Tressel
The eyeball of a rooster
Stones from a ditch
Wash em down with bilge water
Say you'll never snitch
Take the buttons from a yellow jacket
A feather from a buzzard
Blood from the bounty hunter's cold black heart
Get the tears of a widow
In a thimble made of glass
Your mama and your papa
They can kiss your ass
Poison all the water
In the wishin' well
And hang all them scarecrows from a sycamore tree.
And burn down all them honeymoons
Put em in a pillow case
Wait next to the switch blades ...
...and the amusement park for me...
Strangle all the Christmas carols
Trash out all the prayers..
Tie 'em up with barbed wire...
...and push them down the stairs
I'll whittle you a pistol...
For keeping' nightmares off your blinds...
Them sons of bitches always seem to sneak up from behind...
Syphon all the gas ...
....from daddy's pickup truck...
Fill up Jonnys T bird...
... I got a couple bucks
Put on little perfume, tie a ribbon in your hair...
Careful that you don't wake up the hounds...
Tear a bolt of lightning
From the side of the sky
Throw it in the cedar chest
If you want, I'll tell you why
Bring the gear shift knob from a 49 Merc
Lie down here beside me ...
Let me hold you in the dirt...
You're going to tremble
Tear the throat out of the night.
Sink your teeth into my shoulder
Dig your nails into my back
Until that little girl to let go of my sleeve
You'll be a woman when I catch you
C'mon baby fall in love with me
With my double barrel shotgun
And a whole box of shells
We'll celebrate the 4 of July
We'll do 100 mph
spendin' someone else's dough
and we'll drive all the way to Reno
on the wrong side of the road...
He sounds like Mr Krabs in that episode where spongebob works at the chum bucket
Just listening to his voice is like you've smoked 3 packs in a day
Also does anyone know where I can find the background picture? It's beautiful! (the one at 00:01)
BRILLIANT MUSICIAN
Take all the toilet papper from the stalls ! Lol,,, 😁🖒
Don't listen to me listen to him
Not in a hurry....he just Waits...
This is the sexiest song I've ever had the wonderful pleasure of hearing!!! Bar none....
Thank the gods for Mr. Waits.
This is no doubt the single most sexiest song Ive ever heard in my entire life. Makes me wish I was young again. The part where the sax makes the trembling sound gets me everytime. Tom is a class all of its own and theres no one else even comes close . I feel sorry for everyone whos never experienced the journey into his music. And it is a journey. A wonderful raw, honest , journey that sums up life, people and love and everything real. I love the way he plays with words. What a treat and thank you Tom from the deepest part of my soul.
Sehr geil...
Tom waits, great musician. Amazing liar. You haven't lived more than half you sing on. Ain't so tuff. sing it. I know you. Keep up the act.
i drinking whisky and smoking weed listening this beauty song
Tom Waits is as good as it get's
put a dead cat on the railraod tracks

And get the eyeball of a rooster
And the stones from a ditch
And wash em down with bilge water

Syphon all the gas from your daddy's pickup truck
Fill up Johnny's t bird
I got a couple bucks
Put on little perfume and ribbon in your hair
Careful that you don't wake up the hounds
Tear a bolt of lightning
Off the side of the sky
And throw in the cedar chest
If you want me to tell you why
Bring the gear shift knob from a forty nine mere
And lay down here beside me
Let me hold you in the dirt
And you'll tremble as the flames
Tear the throat out of the night
Sink your teeth into my shoulder
Dig your nails into my back
Tell that little girl to let go of my sleeve
You'll be a woman when I catch you
As you fall in love with me
Then with my double barrel shotgun
And a whole box of shells
We'll celebrate the fourth of July
We'll do a hundred mph
Spendin' someone else's dough
And we'll drive all the way to Reno
On the wrong side of the road
Dear Mr Waits,
Class Sir, pure and true class...
Bless you
Who is the saxophoniste on this song?
Tom Waits, simply brilliant, what a voice, love the MAN
This would be excellent stripper music from the 50's. :)
Muito Bom! Me liga Tom, precisamos tomar uma cerveja.
Tom Waits is not for everyone, but he's alright for me.
Name of the first picture ? Link??

I dont know if you get these comments but i have to say you are the weirdest dude id love to meet!!I really like Burma Shave!!!
i've not heard this before. New Coat of Paint riff. Or am I imaging it?
Waits! Been lovin' him for years, because he's that good. Since from a long time ago.
Oooo sweet time!!!!
find what you love and let it kill you
Yerlerde sürükleniyorum
most soulful white guy ever
Tommy the Genius
Fukin rad
Which album is this off of?
OMG I added this to my list after the first second
Tom Rushes is my cover band
¡Grandísimo, ÚNICO: TOM WAITS! LOVIUUUUUUUUU
Can gox'un ki buna bin basar lan.
I´m a fan of Tom but i am afraid i don´t find music like the one he makes and it´s not enough for me. I love Beefheart, Amstrong, Blind Willie Johnson, Charles, Howlin Wolf, etc but some of them don´t make this bluesy Scotch-ed nightclub jazz that Waits does. I tried Nick Cave and i simply don´t get him, i tried Smog (Bill Callahan) and even though i like him, he sounds nothing like Tom, now i´m trying Cohen, Morrison, Johnny Cash and others. I found some Lanegan´s song that are quite nice too but i want to find this type of music ¿Any reccomendations?
I'm completely broke. Just have 5 dollars to spend for a week. I study in a faculty that is too difficult to graduate from, got too many books to buy for my courses and too many projects to lose myself in, also my love life is fucked up completely. But man, I do love this life! Seems I'm on the wrong side of the road. :)
Bolbi Jr. And thanks for the good wishes I hope you will always be happy :)
Furkan Mert just curious, how are things a year later?
@Furkan Mert I'm wondering as well
phagotface!!! Not perfect but more stabilized, last year at my school, financially doing okay if not good. I have a girlfriend that loves me. But it can always end back up at this comment maybe worse. I don’t know what life will bring 🤷🏻♂️
You’re rare man
HOI TOM WAITS IK MAG OOK GEEN ALCOHOL DRINKEN DUS DAT DOEN WEDAN MAAR NIET .. MAAR HET LIED IS ZEER MOOI DANK JE WEL WOUTER JOANNES H
God I want a smoke
Here ya go buddy. I got a couple bucks. Camel's. You can have 3 just cos you're here. Nobody else, y'hear? MMmmmmm, tear a bolt of lightning out the throat of the sky. Hheeyyy.
I used to be that way. Then I reformed. Then I went back .
Tom Waits for everyone
Bom pracaralho........

Заебат'о
similar songs to this one?
Ain't no one in the world similar to Tom Waits. No one. Ever. You find me someone who's similar to him or any of his songs, this one included, and I'll chug this Heineken's Tall Boy in one go. 'til then, naaah.
why does this remind me of the skeletons singing in the club in corpse bride
Señoras y señores,para todos ustedes el inigualable, Tom Waitt. Disfrute de la experiencia.
this is the kind of music that the skeletons in _The Corpse Bride_ listen
Maravilhosa para beber um bom vinho e transar! A sequencia você decide...
This is damn good music as well as the way he express it to us and let us feel.... And it was just the wrong side of the road
Voice of Death
Настоящая мужская музыка.
Awesome.
Chills, up 'n down.

Wonderful....
There is just something about the rain that makes listening to Tom's music even better.
wrong "wrong side of the road"
his voice is like no other
que es weno este ctm!

Nobody strings the words like Tom. An American master.
