Lyrics
Oh
Somewhere far away
Where I roam
There live my buffalo twin
In our twin buffalo home sweet home
He take good care of my native son
And he call me by my native name
And he even lets us drink spring water on Sundays
Hey 2.99, 2.99 a gallon
2.99, 2.99 a gallon
And somewhere farther down the road
Where I also roam
There lay my caterpillar cousin
Beneath the fancy engraved tomb headstone
In the middle of a Southern town
Beneath the cemetery burial plot
And he, he don't pay rent no more, no more
But he sure likes the spot
Sure likes the spot
Oh he sure likes the spot
Sure likes the spot
Oh he sure likes the spot, sure likes the spot
Oh
But in the farthest place I've ever known
Where even I so rarely roam
There is a boy who just come back from war
His flesh was wounded but he made it back home
His mother calls him by his given name
And the neighbours whisper how he prefers to be alone
And he get, he gets nightmares about boys drippin' blood
So for 2.99, 2.99 a gallon
Come on just 2.99, 2.99 a gallon
Pay up yeah
It's 2.99, 2.99 a gah-
G-g-g-guh-g-g-g-guh-a-guh-g-g-guh-g-g-guh
G-g-guh, g-g-guh, g-g-g-gal-g-g-g-gal
Gal-gal-gal-gal-gal
But when I get me all real tired
And I got no more strength to roam
I catch me a horse-driven carriage ride
From a local man named Ethan Frome
He don't say much as he tips his hat
And he carries his body as heavy as a lead
He could have been still flying through the snow on his sled
But the wife was in bed and the horses had to be fed
Besides it's 2.99, 2.99 a story
Come on, just 2.99, 2.99 a story
Pay up y'all it's 2.99, 2.99 a story
Come on baby 2.99, 2.99 a story
Come y'all it's
2.99, 2.99, 2.99, 2.99
2.99, 2.99, 2.99 to nine to nine, ah ah
2.99, 2.99, 2.99, 2.99
2.99 to nine to nine ny-ny-ny-ny-ny-nine
Oh 2.99, 2.99 a story
Pay up y'all it's 2.99, 2.99 a story
Pay up it's just 2.99, 2.99 a story
Oh 'mon it's just 2.99
2 ninety-naa-na-na-na-na-naa-na-na-na-na-naa-na-na-na-na-nine
A gallon
