Drive-By Truckers – Box of Spiders Lyrics 11 years ago
Saw the Truckers in PHX a few weeks ago, Patterson said this song was written for his great grandmother. She was married to his great grandfather who was named "The General." The general was a gambler and a drunk, and his grandmother put up with his shit her whole life. Later in her life, she started attending funerals and loudly mourning for the dead -- who she didn't know -- and people would come up and hug her and she loved it. Anyway, after years of putting up with the General's shit, she was convinced she was going to heaven when she would die, and Patterson didn't get that because she was mean to him.
