Wildcat Testo

Now you're the king of the North Dakota oil fields
Redneck, leatherneck--drilling it for high yields
Now you've got a Cadillac, a bulletproof windshield
.38 shooting from the hip - you keep it concealed
A misanthrope from a misguided father
You've got a woman you may love, and a daughter
There's a thousand things you wish that you had taught her
But now you can't because you poisoned someone's water
An you'll fade away to monochrome
Runaway, you have no place to call your home
Burn the oil, burn the gas
Sand inside an hourglass
Hero of the working class
You wildcat, wildcat

Burn the rubber, burn the skies
Burn the world and close your eyes
Hoping for the next sunrise
You wildcat, wildcat

You were the hero of your one-horse hometown
Steel-toed, blue-collar factories were shutting down
Black label bottle, burning as your liver drowned
For birthdays, anniversaries, and wedding gowns
The next mile and maybe they forget you?
The next day and maybe light will break through
Rear-view mirror, just a prayer they never find you
Because they're coming, they swore that they would blind you
Wipe your eyes Wish you were dead
Your only home is where you lie your troubled head

Burn the oil, burn the gas
Sand inside an hourglass
Hero of the working class
You wildcat, wildcat

Burn the rubber, burn the skies
Burn the world and close your eyes
Hoping for the next sunrise
You wildcat, wildcat


For all have fallen short in sin
The wound is where the light comes in

Burn the oil, burn the gas
Sand inside an hourglass
Hero of the working class
You wildcat, wildcat

Burn the rubber, burn the skies
Burn the world and close your eyes
Hoping for the next sunrise
You wildcat, wildcat
