Lyrics

How Back in the

Weeds How Back in the

Weeds How Back in the

Weeds How Back in the

Weeds

How Back in the

Weeds How Back in the

Weeds Behind the Loading

Dock Behind the Loading

Dock

That's where the real treasures sleep

That's where the real treasures sleep

That's where the real treasures sleep

Big Big City Hospital threw them away

Tossed 20 units in the rain

And the clay said the parts are obsolete

The line is dead

Got a shiny new brochure from the sales rep instead

Well, I backed up my flatbed under the pine

Loaded every carcass on the timberline

Brought them to the boneyard, laid them on the wood

Where a man with some sense sees a whole lot of good

Unscrew the brackets, strip out the core

Copper wound causing transformers galore

High -spec capacitors that never go bad

Best damn inventory that I ever had

They call it scrap,

I call it gold

Keepin' the honest workin' machinery old

Diggin' through the boneyard, slippin' the frame

Playin' that independent outlaw game

When the big hospital's beggin' for a discontinued part I pull it off the shelf with an outlaw heart

Yeah, let them call it trash, let them call it old

They call it scrap,

I call it gold

Got a discontinued Powerball from 99

Polished up the contacts and made them shine

Shipped into a clinic down in

San Antone Saved them 40 grand on an equipment loan

Factory called me a rogue and a thorn

Brother, that's a badge I i proudly worn i don't waste iron and i don't waste brass long as

the voltage and the safety pass they call it scrap i call it gold keeping the honest working machinery

old digging through the bone y 'all stripping the frame playing that independent outlaw game when the

big high hospital's begging for a discontinued part i pull it off the shelf with an outlaw hog yeah

let them call it trash let them call it oh they call I call it gold

Nothing truly truly dies in an ice -old hand

We resurrect the iron across this country land

Bring her back to life

They call it scrap,

I call it gold

Keepin' the honest workin' machinery old

Diggin' through the boneyard, strippin' the frame

Playin' that independent outlaw game

When the big hospital's beggin' for a discontinued part I pull it off the shelf with an outlaw heart

Yeah, let them call it trash, let them call it old, they call it scrap

I call it gold

I call it gold

On your door

Biomed Resurrection

Keep them running, boys
