Danny Carlisle Lyrics & Chords By Vic Chesnutt

He wanted a tree fort more than anything
Yes he wanted to build and defend one on his own
But the neighbor boys BB seige was overwhelming
So he won't be building his dream tree fort anymore
He received a five-speed Schwinn for Christmas
So he built a ramp out of plywood and a stump
And at nights he dreamed Evel Knievel
And a canyon to jump in his backyard.
Danny Carlisle don't give a shit about the contras
Danny Carlisle is barely grown and he's used up most of his options but still he would rather
Dream han fuck.
Once he used a pocket knife to kill a garter snake
Yes he chopped that evil serpent into fours
And when he raised his eyes to heaven as a soldier
He wiped the blood of bad snake on his shirt.
Danny Carlisle don't give a shit about the contras
Danny Carlisle is barely grown and he's used up most of his options but still he would rather
Dream than fuck.
