O, Pennsyltucky!
[Verse 1]
We sat on the boat rocks
With plum wine and we'd watch
The fog roll in, swallow the bridge on the bay
I thought I could live here
But I'm still in high-gear
And sweating and freezing three-thousand away

[Chorus]
O Pennsyltucky, your Three Mile Islands
The coal fires buckle the Miners' highway
I'd love just to leave you but its great to see you
And Old Filthadelph , Hostile city, PA

[Verse 2]
Where we all come from
Most died of the Black Lung
Another, a browbeater, boxer, and saint
When he finally got caught
The cops made a few calls
They opened his cell, never fought him again

[Chorus]
O Pennsyltucky, your Three Mile Islands
The coal fires buckle the Miners' highway
I'd love just to leave you but its great to see you
And Old Filthadelph , Hostile city, PA
[Bridge]
And old Filthadelph Hostile City, PA
Wake me when steel city's
Road work signs shine in my face
(whoo!)
Now I'm safe

[Verse 3]
Was that a peepshow
With drive-thru windows?
The gun show’s got carousels and funnel cakes
It says “Church” in neon
And asks me what’s beyond
If I had to guess, I’d say more of the same

[Chorus]
O Pennsyltucky, your Three Mile Islands
The coal fires buckle the Miners' highway
I'd love just to leave you but its great to see you
And Old Filthadelph , Hostile city, PA

[Outro]
O Pennsyltucky!
How your coal fires rumble!
I'd love just to leave you
But its great to see you
And old filthadelph, hostile city, PA [x2]
