EVERYBODY SAYS,
"OH, YOU'RE MEAN, WILD BILL."
NO, NO, NO. I'M NOT MEAN.
♪♪
MY FIRST JOB, I HOOKED UP WITH
A COUPLE SETS OF BROTHERS FROM OREGON.
AND WHEN YOU'RE A GREENHORN, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
YOU'RE MAKING MISTAKES AND I'M TRYING MY BEST
AND I DON'T LIKE TO BE ANYTHING BUT GOOD AT WHAT I DO
AND I'M GIVING IT EVERYTHING.
AND THE BROTHER OF THE CAPTAIN, ORNERY SON OF A BITCH,
HE THREW THE HOOK AND COIL.
WE DIDN'T HAVE A COILER --
IT WAS ALL HAND-COILING, AND THE GUY WAS AMAZING --
BUT I WAS NOT MOVING AFTER HE WOULD THROW THE HOOK --
HE WOULDN'T EVEN LOOK AT ME -- HE WOULD FIND A WAY
TO THROW THE HOOK AND HIT ME IN THE SHIN.
AND AFTER TWO OR THREE OF THESE,
I GO UP TO HIM, AND I THINK I'M GONNA REASON WITH THIS GUY.
AND I WENT UP TO HIM AND I'M LIKE,
"YOU CAN'T KEEP DOING THAT."
HE TURNED AROUND AND HE PUNCHED ME SQUARE IN THE FOREHEAD,
AND I ENDED UP LAID OUT ON THE DECK.
AND I LOOKED UP, AND HE SAID,
"YOU NEVER YELL AT THE DECK BOSS."
AND PEOPLE THINK WE'RE MEAN NOW.
