Album: Born With A Tail
Butterfly
VERSE 1
D Bm D Bm
I've been a worm since I was born
D Bm D Bm
But I'll change before I die
G A G A
Someday soon I'll come out of this cocoon
G A D
And turn into a butterfly
VERSE 2
Grandpa drank mash and talked that trash
Died in a coal mine blast
Daddy smoked crack talked straight smack
Got a cap popped in his ass
VERSE 3
Daddy died and momma cried
On the shoulders of other men
I stayed home all alone
Played with my imaginary friends

BRIDGE
G
They're pretty good guys who like to get high
D
It helped to stop the pain
G
One quick blast makes your heart beat so fast
E A
You feel the blood boiling in your veins
VERSE 4
My buddy Vernon loved his bourbon
And everything else that burned
My girl Ophelia only drank tequila
Her favorite part was the worm
VERSE 5
We were playing by the tractor with an old firecracker
And a can of gasoline
There was one quick blast that burned all the grass
Brightest thing that I had ever seen
VERSE 6
I saw my grandpappy flying behind my daddy
They picked me up where I fell down
The field was burning Ophelia and Vernon
Slithered back into the ground
VERSE 7
Momma came running I tried to yell something
But my mouth couldn't form the words
She didn't see me up there so high in the air
With all the butterflies and the birds
