lyrics

Boy named Dixie and boy could he dance
Pocket full of diet pills in my pants
I'd sink with him to the bottom of the sea
But a boy like that would never dance with a man like me

He's got a scorpion tattoo on his heart
A tin foil pipe raring to spark
Flying high on methamphetamine
Piercing light and crystalized dreams

Hold on or you'll never last
Hold on you're burning too fast
Hold on or you'll never last
The burning day

He robbed his grandmother late last night
Left her sobbing on the bathroom floor
I opened my door like I always done
Together we'll hide from the rising sun

Boy named Dixie and boy could he dance
Pocket full of diet pills in my pants
I'd sink with him to the bottom of the sea
But a boy like that would never dance with a man like me

Hold on or you'll never last
Hold on you're burning too fast
Hold on or you'll never last
The burning day

Hold on or you'll never last
Hold on you're burning too fast
Hold on or you'll never last
The burning day
