Danning's first song.

I was drinking in the 'Ole Skratte, sixteen sheets past the wind
Drunk dreaming of my dead baby, left back on the tracks
on the tracks of the Mississippi.

I met a man, called himself Empty Barrels, "I'm an honest man,
when my pistols are dry, and my pistols'a been dry
since the night she spit in my eye, since the night she spit in my eye"

They say there's a place, west of the rockies, east of the sea
a place they keep people like him and me, keep us under lock and key
I say I been to that place, and I shot myself free
Yeah, I shot myself free.
