VERSE 1
[D]I've been [Bm]a worm [D]since I wa[Bm]s born
But I[D]'ll[Bm] change before[D] I die[Bm]
[G]Someday[A] soon I'll co[G]me out of th[A]is cocoon
[G]And turn into a[A] but[D]terfly
VERSE 2
Grandpa drank mash and talked that trash
Died in a coal mine blast
Daddy smoked crack talked straight smack
Got a cap popped in his ass
VERSE 3
Daddy died and momma cried
On the shoulders of other men
I stayed home all alone
Played with my imaginary friends
BRIDGE
[G]They're pretty good guys who like to get high
It [D]helped to stop the pain
[G]One quick blast makes your heart beat so fast
You fee[E]l the blood boiling in yo[A]ur veins
VERSE 4
My buddy Vernon loved his bourbon
And everything else that burned
My girl Ophelia only drank tequila
Her favorite part was the worm
VERSE 5
We were playing by the tractor with an old firecracker
And a can of gasoline
There was one quick blast that burned all the grass
Brightest thing that I had ever seen
VERSE 6
I saw my grandpappy flying behind my daddy
They picked me up where I fell down
The field was burning Ophelia and Vernon
Slithered back into the ground
VERSE 7
Momma came running I tried to yell something
But my mouth couldn't form the words
She didn't see me up there so high in the air
With all the butterflies and the birds
