BOTTOM OF 9
By Jerry Smith
I strive for dry eyes
Down the crooked path of high winds
Sharp trees blur my sight
But I still keep on climbing
Passion takes its toll
As I stroll
By your house and the bedroom shade’s down
Two shadows practice wrestling holds
I keep telling myself that
The wind stings my face so hard
I can’t wait for the sun
I can’t wait for the summer
It brings out the best in the girls
There’s more to see at the beach
Hit right between the eyes
Where’s my facemask
Get me some pads and some metal
There’s two on
And I’ve got a hot stick
Tell me
Do you want to put this game away or not?

JUNKYARD GIRLS
By Jerry Smith
You better call the crows to pick up their bars
‘Cause she’s stuck inside
The smallest room
Where the witches brew
Makes the grin get wide
A little less than perfect flesh
She smells like dirty wine
I had a crush
I forgot her name
It was the common kind
She takes a drag and says to herself
This had better weigh
But she’s such a joke
A sucker, too
She’ll take it anyway
The way she barks you’d swear you heard
A junkyard girl
But her teeth are clean
And the streak is mean
Just like the curls
But junkyard girls
Those junkyard girls
Can’t loosen the chains around your feet

THE OUTHOUSE
By Jerry Smith
The last time I saw you
Was at the wedding that took place
Next to an outhouse
Things get so much stranger in the deep south
If I could freeze you
The most perfect that you looked
Since I forgot you
In the back of the club where I rocked you
Made your eyes roll back in your head
Feeling the dirty
Smoke-filled mouth I tasted at the party
Wasn’t sure how I got that started
Too bad this night has to end

POLELINE
by Jerry Smith
The only thing I can see of you
Is the outline of your body in my best friend’s pool
You know that I think, I’ve been thinking of you
Too much to be healthy, too much to stay cool
Because, it’s August and I can hardly breathe
Because of the wet air and heavy degrees
I can tell by the way she walks out to the poleline
Where the girls who like to drink wear inappropriate skirts
And complain about mosquitoes
And I catch flashlights from the corner of my eye
I can tell it’s the one I invited
But she’s latched onto someone else
She’s someone else’s problem, someone else’s hell
But I can tell by the way she drinks we’re still going to happen
‘Cause it’s a long drunk walk home from the poleline
Now she’s latched onto my jean-jacket sleeve
And I found a dark path where no one will see
What we’re going to do on our way home from the poleline
On our long drunk walk home from the poleline

Triple A
By Jerry Smith
So, I’ve got a feeling
That I’ve got no reason
To go down this road
Go sort out the dealings
With the men who are stealing
The right to your soul
Alone is perfect together
A break down in bad weather
And a bottle of wine
I saw in a book of survival
That skin to skin contact, baby
Is the only way we’ll stay warm
So tell me how long is it going to take
To finish the paperwork
I got a plan and it’s going to make
You get up off the dirt
This time

GRASS STAINS
By Jerry Smith
On the edge of the night I call you
“Hey, do you want to take a ride?”
You stumble over the cans from the evening before
You hit your stride
An hour late but you show up
Wearing high-boots, British sixties girl
You order bourbon on the rocks
I think that this chick knocks it right out of the park
But I don’t want to say it
All over the yard I rolled you
Into the hotel swimming pool
I’m sorry about the stains on your dress
From the grass
The big party’s almost over now, mama
Hit the powder room and fix yourself up
You order bourbon on the rocks
I think that this chick knocks it right out of the park
But I don’t want to say it
