Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Down by the yard gate
Rust on the hinges
One box missing
And the whole town feels it
We were lined up early
Tools on the tailgate
Then the foreman said, “Son
Tell me, where’s that crate?”
[Pre-Chorus]
We checked the ledger
We checked the floor
He said “I had it”
Then he hit the door
[Chorus]
Rodney didn’t ship the crimper
Rodney didn’t ship the crimper
Now the ground can’t be done
No, the ground can’t be done
Rodney didn’t ship the crimper
Rodney didn’t ship the crimper
He dropped the ball
Now we all pay for one
[Verse 2]
Fiddle in the corner
Sawed like a warning
Saxophone crying
Through the smoke of morning
He swore he tried hard
Swore he meant better
But the trucks rolled out
And he lost that weather
[Pre-Chorus]
We’re standing idle
Wires all bare
One bad promise
Got us stuck right there
[Chorus]
Rodney didn’t ship the crimper
Rodney didn’t ship the crimper
Now the ground can’t be done
No, the ground can’t be done
Rodney didn’t ship the crimper
Rodney didn’t ship the crimper
He dropped the ball
Now we all pay for one
[Bridge]
Boss man pacing
Mud on his boots
Fiddle kept laughing
Sax hit the roots
Rodney came walking
Head hanging low
Said “I know, I know”
Like everybody knows
[Chorus]
Rodney didn’t ship the crimper
Rodney didn’t ship the crimper
Now the ground can’t be done
No, the ground can’t be done
Rodney didn’t ship the crimper
Rodney didn’t ship the crimper
He dropped the ball
Now we all pay for one
[Outro]
Next time, brother
Check that list twice
One small box
Can burn the whole night
Rodney didn’t ship the crimper
Rodney didn’t ship the crimper
