Low Estate
16 Horsepower Lyrics

To hell with boys creepin' up slowly
I don't have time for young men who try to sneak their way into my life

Swingin' them shovels 'round
They're trying to dig up dirt on me

Diggin' up words of pleasure
Looking for any kind of pleasure, even if it's scandalous or sinful

From evil hollow ground
Finding it in dark, unhealthy places

Oh an' here's one now girl
Here comes another one of those boys trying to charm me

The devil is in his eye
He's up to no good and has ulterior motives

You'd better start stirring up soil boy
You better move along and get out of here

Or hear e'are you'll lye
Or you might end up dead

Whispered to you in the dark
I'm telling you this in confidence

And I think you heard me say
I'm pretty sure you understood the message

Let's say goodbye like we said hello
Let's end this like it began, on friendly terms

In a friendly kind of way
No need for drama or hostility

Ye charlie's neat an' charlie's keen but
Some people try to impress me, but they don't stand a chance

David he's a dandy
David catches my eye because he dresses well and looks good

David he's a nice young man
He's not just a pretty face, he's also polite and well-mannered

He feeds the girls on candy
He tries to win women over with sweet talk and flattery

And all that sordid gain
All these people trying to get something from me, even if it's dirty or wrong

Now what I done's my damage
I might have done things I regret, but it's my own fault

An' what you do is your'n
And whatever you do is your own responsibility

Y'all got nothin' on me
You can't blame me for your own problems

But I'll take that there crown of scorn
Even if people put me down or judge me, I'll wear my pride on my head like a crown
