Belching fire on a motorcycle ride barreling into town on a full moon night the Biker was a whiskey, card playing man, always had a gun in his hand. The Gambler was a no good bastard thief, had a pair of aces always up his sleeve quick with his wit, faster with his gun dealt in that Biker playing five card stud. There was blood on the saddle, blood on the ground! Another man dead and another man gone!!! Last two standing at closing time, steaks were higher than a Georgia pine tensions so thick, you could cut them with a knife, the Biker felt cheated and the Gambler knew why The Biker flipped that table, up in the air, money, cards, and chips flew every where the Biker drew fast, but not fast enough. the Gambler shot him twice, before he shot once There was blood on the saddle, blood on the ground another man dead and another man gone!

Way out in the boon docks where the pavement turns to dirt Jerry was a growing up without too much effort one day he took a short cut, while walking home from school, came upon a tractor with a quarter tank of fuel just a strong young man and a broken down machine but Jerry had the weakness for the smell of gasoline Chorus: Jerry fell in love with a tractor he fell head, over heels Jerry fell in love with a tractor even though it had no wheels Started huffin and puffin on that old gas tank until his eyes glazed over and his mind went blank dinner's on the table and his mamma she's awaiting while he's out in that field just hallucinating Jerry fell in love with a tractor he fell hard and he fell fast Jerry fell in love with a tractor with a quarter tank of gas Now everyday after school, he's huffing on that gas sucking on that tank until it knocks him on his ass some boys are kissing girls but Jerry's lips are sealed on a broken down old tractor abandoned in the field Jerry fell in love with a tractor he fell down in the dirt Jerry fell in love with a tractor and he drooled all over his shirt Jerry fell in love with a tractor it was love at first smell Jerry fell in love with a tractor and now he's down to one brain cell

I got a patch over one eye and thats ok I'm One-Eyed Bill is what folks say. I got a flannel vest, trucker hat, aviators and a belly full of fat six pack of beer and camel straights, take them little white pills to stay awake got a run to make, got to be on time, got kids to feed and thats the reason why Chorus Now Pregnant Beth is mostly straight. she quit her drinking back in '98 she quit the junk when she had Little Lyle, but she likes to relapse every once in a while. She's got six kids and twins on the way, Uncle Sam's helping out when it comes pay day make a run, got to be on time, grandma's watching the kids and that's the reason why. Chorus I'd tell you the story of them other guys, but I'm running late and falling far behind. Believe me, their story is one to tell about record runs from the brink of Hell Outrunning bears out on the county line, getting jack-knifed with a trailer full of shine, got a run to make, got to be on time, got kids to feed and that's the reason why!

about

In the digitilized age of smoothness and perfection, the boys in IROB set out in the opposite direction. Recorded over a few days, on a Tascam 4 track, writing songs on the spot, rarely doing second takes, we wanted to capture the raw intensity of spur of the moment creativity. We hope you can appreciate the lo-fi, high energy of this album.
