"Now this is the story of the Honky Tonk Time Bomb..."
Well, the Bluegrass Bandit dropped dead out in the street,
Numbered 20 paces from the fate that he'd meet
With the gaze of a serpent and a heart like fool's gold,
His only friend was the devil and deceit
He's been shooting for the ceiling wondering how he got to feeling this way,
Couldn't bring himself to care much at all,
So he started a brawl
Well they met out in the street,
Roses wilting in the heat
He said "it's the same to I, if I live or die, so when the sun hits the sky you know you'll find the Honky Tonk Time Bomb"
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, 10
FIRE
"Fire, oh, fire. There's no fire in my heart"
"And that was the end of the Bluegrass Bandit..."
As his last breath parted with his lips,
The wind caught the words and to the station they went
They said the wind was crazy, must've been a tongue twister,
But Mrs. Nina knew that the wind blew in nothing but the truth
The boys in blue would not believe her,
"Come back when the need is dire"
But Mrs. Nina knew that the time bomb would soon destroy that whole saloon
Well she walked across the street,
A rose just wilting in the heat
She said, "You can't stand by, you're wasting time. Yall're gonna die! Just you wait!"
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1
"And just like that, the whole state of Arizona was gone."
"They say half the west was set ablaze by the Bluegrass Bandit that fateful afternoon. Mrs. Nina, having gone across the state border to get some grain from the general store was left perfectly fine. Ya see, the Bluegrass Bandit made sure it would demolish the entire state of Arizona, and boy he knew what he was doing. R.I.P Dick Tumbleweed Jones, my dear brother. The end."
