Dad's Gonna Kill Me by Richard Thompson

Out in the desert there's a (1)______________ lying dead
Vultures (2)______________ the eyes out of his head
Another day that (3)__________ have been me there instead
Nobody loves me here
Nobody loves me here

Dad's gonna kill me
Dad's gonna (4)________ me

You hit the booby trap and you're in pieces
With every bullet your risk increases
Old ali baba, he's a different species
Nobody loves me here
Nobody loves me here

Dad's gonna kill me
Dad's gonna kill me

I'm dead meat in my humv frankenstein
I hit the road block, somehow I never hit the mine
The dice rolled and I got lucky this time

And dad's gonna kill me
And dad's gonna kill me

I've got a wife, a kid, another on the way
I might get home if I can live through today
Before I came out here I never used to pray
Nobody loves me here
Nobody loves me here

Dad's gonna kill me

Woo, dad's in a bad mood, dad's got the blues
It's someone else's mess that I didn't choose
At least we're (5)______________ on the Fox evening news
Nobody loves me here
Nobody loves me here

Dad's gonna kill me
Dad's (6)__________ kill me

Dawn patrol (7)________ out and didn't come back
Hug the wire and pray like I told you, Mac
Or they'll be shovelling bits of you into a sack

And dad's gonna kill me
And dad's gonna kill me

Who's that stranger walking in my dreams?
Whose that stranger cast a shadow 'cross my heart?
Who's that stranger, I dare speak his name?
Must be old death a-walking
Must be old death a-walking

Dad's gonna kill me

Seven muzzle monkeys standing in a row
Standing, waiting for the sandbox to blow
Sitting targets in the wild (8)________ show
Nobody loves me here
Nobody loves me here

Dad's gonna kill me
Dad's gonna (9)________ me

Another (10)__________ got his wings this week
Charbroiled with his own willie pete
Nobody's dying if you speak double-speak

And dad's gonna kill me
And dad's gonna kill me
And dad's gonna kill me
