lyrics
Swimmin’ in quarters
Goin’ splitzies on a jet
Flyin’ through borders
Have a tiger for a pet
Struck my fortune
In oil and beef
Had ten thousand men’s portions
Call everyone chief
It ain’t braggin’ if it’s true
This is what I’m tellin’ you
Take me back home
Back home, I wanna go
Take me back home
Back home, I wanna go
Well, I was shootin’ sharks in the South China Sea
It ain’t quite the same as it used to be
When I was seventeen on an icy sheet
Shootin’ top shelf on our frozen feet
Don’t mean to get rambly
On such a short call
Haven’t seen my family (No, sir)
Outside the courtroom walls
Tired of hearin’ yup
Wanna know what’s real
I’m all torn up
Don’t know how to feel
May not sound like a sing the blues
This is what I’m tellin’ you
Take me back home
Back home, I wanna go
Take me back home
Back home, I wanna go

Nearly a decade late to the Taz party, but I’m so glad to be aware of it now! I don’t know what elixir Griffin put into the album but I would like to drink a gallon of it. katiegreene137

I love this album so much. So many perfect songs to fit all of the jaw dropping moments from this arc. Especially the diary of sheriff isaak. What a banger. fishfeets
