Lowdown Life - Amos Lee

Meet this girl Luld down in Missoula

Boy, did we have a lot of fun

Took me to her trailer, introduced me to her grandma

Who’s drinking Kool-Aid out a water gun

Her grandmother’s been smothered

By the love of a lowdown life

Chicken’s are clucking, down on their luck and

Drinking water out of rusty pipes

Empty can of Stroh’s, half-eaten bag of Cheetos

Little brother in the backyard nodding out on a shot

Her brother’s been smothered

By the love of a lowdown life

Her father, Roger, was a draft-dodger

Now he spends his days doing meth with his best friend Bobby Jim

When he gets that feeling takes to robbing and stealing

Parked cars from the Holiday Inn

Her father’s been smothered

By the love of a lowdown life
