Heartaches and Grease - Ray Wylie Hubbard

Young pups they ask me what makes my kind

Shameless women and pork rind

Desirable lips keep telling me lies

Biscuits and bacon and fried pies

And it’s heartaches and grease, that’s what it takes

Heartaches and grease, my mistakes

Heartaches and grease oh the disgrace

Heartaches and grease boys, it’s what it takes

Young pups they ask me

Why I do what I do

Knowing trouble wears high heel shoes

I’m tempted and tried by a fine pair of legs

I’m likewise enticed over over-easy eggs

Young pups can see that my life’s in shreds

They walk away just shaking their heads

Theirs no sadder case of desire and anguish

For I’m done in by women, hushpuppies and catfish

Oh it’s heartaches and grease boys, that’s what it takes

Heartaches and grease, my mistakes

Heartaches and grease, oh the disgrace

Heartaches and grease boys, that’s what it takes

Heartaches and grease boys, is all it takes

Heartaches and grease, my mistakes

Heartaches and grease boys, oh the disgrace

Heartaches and grease, is all it takes
