Well I named my baby Caltex, because he was born on the borderline
he had a birth mark like a hunting knife in 1969 oh lord
back then I was a mechanic I drank whiskey and beat cars
he'd sit in the carport and he'd hand me the parts, oh yes he would
well he never did like the ladies and he learned to play slide guitar
he'd sit in the dirt real late and sing to the starts, oh yes he would
well now Caltex was such a quiet kid till he got himself that gun
it was a gift from his mother for his 22nd birthday in 1981, oh lord
since then he walked with bigger steps and with a fire in his eye
he drank like his dad in rock and roll bars just lookin' for guys to fight, c'mon
I said, my poor baby wound up dead
I said, my poor baby wound up dead
I said, my poor baby wound up dead, now
I said, my poor baby wound up dead
god bless his soul now, god bless his soul now
my baby, my poor baby, god bless his soul now c'mon
god bless his soul now, god bless his soul, my baby
my baby, my poor baby, god bless his soul
