song: the ballad of tommy and marla

by: reckless kelly

album: live at stubbs

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!
