He never did do a lot of harm in the world, but he never did do no good. People didn't think too much of him, they all thought he acted funny. The old man didn't care about people anyway, all he cared about was his money. He'd stuff it alldown in mason jars and he'd bury it all around. And on certain nights if the moon was right he'd dig it up out of the ground. He'd pour it all out on the floor of his shack and run his fingers through it. Yeah, Lucius Clay was a greedy oldman and that's all that there was to it. ---------------------- ------6--------------- --7-5-5-7-5h7--7-5-7-- --7-5---7-5h7--7-5-7-- ---------------------- ---------------------- But I couldnt believe it I just had to find out for myself And I couldnt concieve it I never would've listened to nobody else And I couldnt believe it I just had to find out for myself And theres some things in this world you just cant explain Cable boys was white trash, they lived over on Carver's Creek.
