Playing with a speed bump
Laughing at the dice in the box
Big-wheeled high heeled
Banging on a ball field
Chewing on a bag of rocks
Slingshot cold cocked
Landing on a roof top
Waiting for the turkey parade
Lockjaw jigsaw
Betting on an outlaw
Picking at a purple vein
Picking at a purple vein
He's like a fat man in a little coat
Suckin' red vines and rum and coke
Singing I like ya jesus but I loves the dope
I think it's workin'
I think it's workin' yeah
It keeps me hummin'
Hummin' hummin' yeah
Double dip back flip
Everybody's brainsick
I mighty itty bitty maw
Low ground dog town
Wallow in a thorn crown
Choking on a power saw
Freeway dj
Swimming in the kool-aid
Whettin' up his appetite
Pickled sweet pig feet
Cooking on the concrete
Pimping bits of paradise
Pimping bits of paradise
He's like a fat man in a little coat
Suckin' red vines and rum and coke
Singing I like ya jesus but I loves the dope
Yes sir
I think it's workin'
I think it's workin' yeah
It keeps me hummin'
Hummin' hummin' yeah
For sunny yeah life is but a dream
For sunny it's a ball
For sunny yeah life is but a dream
I mighty itty bitty maw
Dry sober butt smoker
Can't keep your composure
Locomotor pull over
Bi polar roller coaster
Seven women seven hounds
Lucky number going down
Take a hit chew spit
There ya go enjoy the show
Fat man in a little coat
Sucking red vines and rum and coke
Singin' I like ya jesus but I loves the dope
Keeps me hummin'
Hummin' hummin' yeah
I think it's workin'
I think it's workin' yeah
It keeps me hummin'
A hummin' hummin' hummin' yeah
I think it's workin'
I think it's workin'
Yeah
Beth Hart (born January 24, 1972) is an American musician from Los Angeles, California. She rose to fame with the release of her 1999 single "LA Song (Out of This Town)" from her second album Screamin' for My Supper. The single was a number one hit in New Zealand, as well as reaching the top 5 of the US Adult Contemporary and Top 10 on the Billboard Adult Top 40 charts.
Hart has had several well received collaborations with guitarist Joe Bonamassa, beginning in 2011 with Don't Explain, followed with the Grammy-nominated Seesaw (2013) and Live in Amsterdam (2014), the latter of which topped the Billboard Blues Album Chart, a chart that she has topped six times. Her latest work with Bonamassa was the 2018 album Black Coffee. Hart has had two number 1 singles in Denmark, "As Good as It Gets" and "Learning to Live", as well a double platinum-selling album, Leave the Light On.
Hart's most recent album, released in 2022, is A Tribute to Led Zeppelin, a collection of covers of Led Zeppelin songs.
Well now didn't 'ol Beth of the Hart clan discover Jesus? . . .
Anyway...seems she may have fallen a bit off that particular wagon? . . .
The song describes an addict. That line is a depiction of how addicts think—the drugs are more important to them than anything else. Not intended as a statement of her own personal beliefs.
Exactly! He'd put on David Spade's jacket and try to get David's attention saying Look, fat man in a little coat!
RIP Chris you are missed
Please stop playing this song.
Please stop listening. You are simply not worthy.

Yep, the reference to purple veins, too. Just know what I know.
This is a drop dead kick ass song. Has the same lyrical assembly of an early Springsteen track, only coming from a whole different place.
My first listen. I'll give it a 9
Start hoarding tissues now. November will be here soon.
And how did that work out for you?
Your orange tin god is gone for now, and hopefully forever,
God given talent. Rocks the house solo, even better with Joe Bonamassa.

And why ?? She is a great artist !
