[Verse 1] (Starts at 00:07)
I saw him [Dm]down in a dump, hurlin' [F]armloads of junk
into a [Am]pickup bound for the [G]yard.
He was [Dm]skittish and strange like a [F]wild dog with mange
and there was [G]blood where his veins ran [Dm]hard.
Verse 2
Wadin' [Dm]deep through the grime, he found a [F]long copper line,
then he [Am]jumped up and leaped to the [G]ground.
And you'd [Dm]thought he'd struck gold, the way he [F]kicked and he rolled
and like a [G]bandit, he tore outta' [Dm]town.
Chorus
[Dm] Whoa, now, he's [F]out on the prowl,
you better [Am]get up and go back [G]inside.
'Cause he's [Dm]loose on the land, gettin' [F]all that he can
and there [Am]won't be nowhere to [G]hide.
Yeah, he's [Dm]crawling his way to that [F]fix for the day,
you won't [Am]stop him, he's bent to be [G]fed.
He's the [Dm]low-heathen kind with a [F]shit-mangled mind,
the [G]desperate, [F]fucking meth [Interlude] head.

Verse 3
There was a [Dm]girl, tall and thin, with [F]scabulous skin,
inside a [Am]rest stop I won't soon [G]forget.
She was [Dm]diggin' at a rash, trying to [F]deal for some cash,
sayin' [G]baby I'm clean and I'm [Dm]wet.
Verse 4
I just [Dm]kept pacin' by [F]swattin' through the flies
and her [Am]stench, rancid and [G]stout.
While she [Dm]stood their cryin' please with her [F]fist between her knees
and the [G]sores drainin' round her [Dm]mouth.
Chorus
[Dm] Whoah, now, she's [F]out on the prowl,
you better [Am]get up and go back [G]inside.
'Cause she's [Dm]loose on the land, getting [F]all that she can
and there [Am]won't be nowhere to [G]hide.
Yeah, she'll [Dm]bum and she'll beg and she'll [F]gnaw at your leg,
you can't [Am]kill her, she's already [G]dead.
She's the [Dm]empty-eyed soul the [F]zombie-like foe,
the [G]feening, [F]fuckin meth [Interlude] head.
Interlude
Dm | F | Am | G |

Verse 5
It'll be [Dm]dark pretty soon, they love to [F]lurk by the moon,
so, I'm [Am]out back shoveling the [G]dirt.
I'm gonna' [Dm]dig me a hole as [F]deep as I can go
and when they [G]fall I'm gonna' cover 'em [Dm]up.
End-Chorus
[Dm] Oh, now, they're [F]out on the prowl,
you better [Am]get up and go back [G]inside.
'Cause their [Dm]sweepin' the land, getting [F]all that they can,
and there [Am]won't be nowhere to [G]hide.
They got the [Dm]taste on their tongues, their [F]fates have been hung,
it's a [Am]fever that's already [G]spread.
From [Dm]out far and wide they're the [F]fit to be tied,
the [G]worthless, [F]fuckin' meth [Outro] head.
