Two tied-dyed brain fried misfits who lived in a shack in the back of the Bodark WoodsA Caddo guy and a Crockett girl worked hard at staying stoned as best they couldComing up in the night they were high as a Christmas moonComing down was the fear in the four walls of their roomThey were two hardcore junkies and they stayed drunker than a bunch of monkeysThere were barrels of laughter with no time left to loseThey had nightmares and needles, with the Stones and the Beatlesthey kept all the straight laced businessmen confusedand the days went by with the red bandana bluesWell ivy was grown o’r their heavenly homesAnd their only companions were the chickens and the dovesWhen the law had em’ made they got laid in the shadeAnd their face was the grace from the good lord up aboveMaking love in the woods was peaceful most of the timeThe revolution was the last thing on their mindsThey were tough, foul mouthed and lazy, they ate biscuits and gravyThey wore blue bell-bottomed jeans and platform shoesThey slapped at the insects, while they laughed at the rednecksThey kept all the straight laced businessmen confusedAnd the days went by with the red bandana blues, all rightThey wore black suspenders on all day bendersAnd the world was changing and the kids were running wildThey got grey hairs sat in rocking chairsAnd built a great big cradle for a new born flower childAnd they never grew up and they never moved to townBut they kind of faded away when the Bodarks got cut downThey had bad luck and good times, cold beer and pork rindsAnd the Sunday funnies were the only worthy newsThey had nightmares and needles, with the Stones and the BeatlesThey kept all the straight laced businessmen confusedYeah, they were low down and worthless but they were nice on the surfaceThey got by just fine on whatever they could useAnd in trouble they got deeper as they grew their crops of reeferBecause business and pleasure were two words they got confusedAnd the days went by with the red bandana blues, hey
