The Ballad Of Tommy And Marla

	  		G                              C 
Tommy was a hasher from the valley 
G                                          C 
He was as burned out as a building from the riots 
G                                          C 
He had a rockin' little girlfriend named Marla 
G 	  	  	  	       D  C  G X2 
She was a cocktail waitress at the pit 
 
 
C 	  	  	  	 G 
Sometimes on the weekends they'd ride jet skis 
C 	  	  	 G 
Take his little trailer to the river 
C 	  	  	 G 
Bring along a TV to watch Rick Dees  
 
D                    C                       G 
They were smokin' dope and 
snortin'crystal...Meth! 
 
 
Marla was as skinny as a fence post 
But the powder in the baggy made her talk 
Sometimes she wore her hair like Charlie's Angels 
You know,sometimes she looked as weird as 
Mr.Spock 
 
Sometimes on the weekend they'd  eat fast food 
Take his El Camino to the desert  
Ride his motorcycles in the sand dunes 
They were smokin' dope and snortin' 
crystal..Meth! 
 
Tommy had a passion for firearms 
His confidence they really seemed to bolster 
He bought a ninety-dollar pistol for his Mar-Mar 
She kept in her little girly holster 
 
Sometimes on the weekends they'd be fighting 
Tommy thought his girl was telling lies 
Thought that she was humping with the bass player 
Smoking all his dope and all his crystal...Meth! 
 
Tommy started suffering form delusions 
After five nights without any sleep 
He shoved his fist through Marla's bedroom window 
Shoved his car keys through her dirty little 
teeth 
 
Marla got her fingers on the trigger 
Grabbed poor little Tommy by the hair 
A smoking gun is laying on the counter 
Sirens screaming in the air....scream on and on 
 
Tommy was a hasher from the valley  
He's just a memory of his burned out little world 
And Marla's doin' thirty years for murder 
But you know she's still his rockin' little girl 
 
Someday up in heaven they'll ride jet skis 
Scrawl their names upon the golden wall 
Maybe up in heaven they'll watch Rick Dees 
Smoke a little dope and snort some 
crystal...Meth!
