Shit Happens
 © 2007 Ell N Ell Publications


I’m an old tow-boater, log towin’ is my fate
I do what I can to see that nothing breaks
But it happens, shit happens
Well I know it happens, it always seems to happen to me

I rolled my towline off the drum about Davis Bay
They had to shut down the highway there for two or three days
Cause it happened, log bundles on the road
Shit happened
They had to call up Chuck with his self-loadin’ truck
Cause shit happened

I was headin’ to Mermaid Bay
Runnin’ kinda late
Seventy-two turned into twenty-eight
Cause it happened
Man oh Man, shit happened
I don’t know what it’s all about
They always keep me down south
Since shit happened

And I know that it happens all the time
It happens almost everyday
But there’s a big black cloud, floating up in the sky
And it always keeps drifftin’ my way
I put out preventers, I walk my tow
I know everything that I’m supposed to know
Just when things were goin’ my way, shit happened

The Pilot on the ship was sayin’ Push to Hold
While I’m still at the dock here with my engine cold
But it happens, that’s what I told him
Shit happens
It happens at night, even broad day light
Shit happens

Big hole, small hole, which way do I go
I can’t seem to decide so I guess I’ll go both
And it happened
Side stick pulled and shit happened
It happens in the west, it happens to the best
Shit happens

Well I know that it happens all of the time
It happens somewhere everyday
There’s a big black cloud opened up in the sky
Looks like it’s driftin’ my way
Don’t be so modest, lets just be honest
Shit’s gonna happen to you I promise
And just when things are going your way, shit’ll happens
Oh ya , and just when things are gong your way, shit happens
Oh Shit!
