Me and my friend Jerry caught a Western Diamondback,
|
Didn't make much trouble once we got her in the sack.
|
We drove back to Jerry's house and found that recipe,
|
Drowned the snake in mescal, and the rest is history.
|
|
Six months later to the day we turned that monster loose,
|
Cinnamon, lime, and venom all distilled in cactus juice.
|
Jerry opened up that jar and said, "you take the reins."
|
Pretty soon we had that poison pounding in our veins.
|
CHORUS:
|
They found us out beside the highway west of Abilene,
|
They found my car up in a tree all smashed to smithereens.
|
I still don't remember what the hell those brakes were for;
|
I ain't drinkin' Rattlesnake Tequila anymore.
|
|
We graced every tavern from Del Rio to Juarez,
|
Counted cards in Bossier City, that's what Jerry says.
|
We chased down some border girls outside of El Paso,
|
How we made that many miles in one night, I don't know.
|
|
REPEAT CHORUS
|
|
They had us cuffed and captured, man, I still don't have a clue
|
Where Jerry got his Mohawk or where I got my tattoo.
|
We were dancin' for the deputies, and what finally stopped the show
|
Were Jerry's very last words when he said, "don't taze me, bro."
|
|
REPEAT CHORUS
|
