Steve Wynn - Merrittville lyrics

Matthew with the pug nose Caught me with his sister in the wheatfield Got a couple buddies Tied me up and threw me in his Oldsmobile I said "Matthew are you crazy?" As he started closing in for the k** Matthew slowed the Olds to 10 Left me here to die in Merrittville There's a game they play in the summertime There's a game they play when it's hot outside And I wonder why They left me here in Merrittville Sally with the narrow hips Cut the rope and said that she could clear my head She led me to the dirt path All the way back to her daddy's shed I said, "Sally who'd believe That we'd have to come so far for a thrill." Sally let me go that night Weak, tired and spent in Merrittville William with the holy book Stopped me as I stumbled down the road today He said "Get on your knees, boy. It's time you learned the right way to pray" I said "William, I had no idea That the lord had such a will William drove his point across And left me here to burn in Merrittville
