Box Of Spiders lyrics

(Hood/Drive-by Truckers)



Gran Gran keeps a box of spiders.

She says they're on me when I sleep.

Waiting in the out-house for me.

Underneath the seat.
My great-grandmothers bout ninety-seven


And she is sure when she gets to heaven,

Old St. Peter's gonna throw his arms around her and say


'I've waited so long for us to meet'.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/d/drive_by_truckers/box_of_spiders.html ]
She put the General in a box
And buried him behind the Stoney Point Church of Christ,

When I was three.

(and she says) "When the lord comes to take me,

I'll die with a smile on, cause He's taking all my pains and fears."

She said The Generals last words were
"It's hotter than hell in here".

Gran Gran keeps a box of spiders,


Or so she told me as a child,
And I would hold it in for hours.


Too mean to die. Too mean to die. Too mean.



(for Gran Gran)
