Lyrics

They don’t make em like they used to
The razors edge has dulled to be blunt
From living in a van to cashing paychecks from the man
I don’t pay yalls bills so yall do what y’all want

They don’t write em like they used to
Every points a line in the sand
It’s easier to say y’all and walk away
A cowboy hat and a beer in my hand

They made their bones telling stories
Of the shootouts they was in with the law
Nowadays those same snakes, well they’ve all been trained
For every pair of boots unhinge their jaw

They don’t smoke em like they used to
Clear the air and take up your breath
I don’t have a say in how you spend your day
A walk home late at night would seal their death

They don’t ramble like they used to
By all accounts the cats got their tongue
When they move their mouth it deducts any doubt
They’re a product of their fathers trust fund

They made their bones telling stories
Of how hard they suffered through the pain
Rather that those fat cats are secret bureaucrats
They eat their cuts of steak and count the grain

They don’t make em like they used to
All good faith it seems has run dry
The billboards all a rag, the pretense is a drag
The selling will continue if we buy

They don’t make em like they used to
The razors edge has dulled to be blunt
From living in a van to cashing paychecks from the man
I don’t pay yalls bills so yall do what y’all want

They made their bones telling stories
Of the shootouts they was in with the law
Nowadays those same snakes well they’ve all been trained
For every pair of boots unhinge their jaw

They made their bones telling stories
How They marched barefoot through the snow
But the truth is more uncouth, it ain’t too hard to sleuth
They’re a foot wear aficionado
