Box Of Spiders - Drive-By Truckers

Gran Gran keeps a box of spiders
She says they're on me when I sleep
Waiting in the out house for me
Underneath the seat
My great grandmothers bout ninety seven
And she is sure when she gets to heaven
Old St Peter's gonna throw his arms around her and say
'I've waited so long for us to meet'
She put the General in a box
And buried him behind the Stoney Point Church of Christ
When I was three
And she says
When the lord comes to take me
I'll die with a smile on cause He's taking all my pains and fears
She said The Generals last words were
It's hotter than hell in here
Gran Gran keeps a box of spiders
Or so she told me as a child
And I would hold it in for hours
Too mean to die
Too mean to die
Too mean
