Sonny’s Rag Lyrics by Pert Near Sandstone

Needle & Thread

2008

[Verse]
I got a woman, she’s a good-timing lady
I love her like no other, but she’s driving me crazy
She’s out all night, I don’t know where she goes
She’s as poor as me but she has new clothes
She’s a good-timing woman, but I ain’t her sugar daddy
I love here to death but she still treats me badly
I want to know honey, please just tell me
Where you get those clothes
[Pre Chorus]
Where’s the sun on a rainy day
Which way’s the wind in the month of May
Wherе can I find my sweet honey baby
They tell mе that she’s gone, but didn’t name a place
[Chorus]
I’m a wildfire burning night and day
I’m an evil storm that’s blowing your way
But I feel just like I'm a poisonous dragon
Trying to bring you back home to me
[Verse]
I retired at age 25, and it’s a miracle I’m still alive
The money I’ve made and the seeds I’ve sown
They don’t matter one bit to the dust and bone
I could catch a ride on the Union Pacific
Or hitchhike somewhere unspecific
One day I’ll be growing weeds
Till then I’m living fancy-free
[Pre Chorus]
A doctor will cure your sickness
A priest will cure your sin
A pretty woman could cure a hundred men
No matter what kind of shape they’re in
[Chorus]
I’m a wildfire burning night and day
I’m an evil storm that’s blowing your way
But I feel just like I'm a poisonous dragon
Trying to bring you back home to me
