lyrics

if you meet him youll see hes a hand full
get to know him and you will curse his name
but hell be there when the cursing is over
or when you looking for a person to blame

he dont tell you what you want
but what you need to hear
god can bless him
but oft i damn him for that
see he may help drown sorrows
tell you about all them tomorrows
but hed pick a fight with you
just to see you mad

he sings there aint no use in talking bout it
aint no use in fallin out of shape
when it dont turn out your way
you could lighten up the load
let it slide right off your shoulders
or find a bottle and try to hide
while youre seachin for the signs
and you keep on tellin time
its gonna be okay

honestys a policy hed die by
and may be loyal to a fault
so dont cry to him askin
what to do with your wounds
bc hell laugh at you and pass you the salt
but later on down the line
when youve moved on and started anew
hes gonna look up that young girl that broke your heart
hes gonna walk down the drive in the middle of the night
and pour sugar in the gas tank of that ladies car

when youre at the end of your rope
and youre hangin by a thread
just spendin all your livin time
just wishin you were dead
go meet your maker
or maybe instead
you could sing along to the words
that mr. saltnsugar said
