Dipped my heart and hands in honey. (seduced him; mesmerized him)
Well, gold digger swore, (trust me)
Told gold digger she was having my babies. (fell for it)
Yeah, took gold digger up to Chapel Hill. (hook, line, and sinker)
Married her fast (they hitched)
Old digger took my money, (~$2,500)
Oh, snake lady stole my savings (got 'em + 401k.)
Murdered her young.
Snake lady fell.
Took my money back and made my run. (at this point, she dead, his ~2,500 dollars are recouped minus McDonald's and other expenses she's had in the meantime. Unsure of 401k standings, but those things take time, so he probably didn't get that back considering what happens next.)
The rest leads to his demise. Got busted. Chair = el3ctriC chair. He dead.
Interesting way of mixing up lines in the verses until he made his run out of town. I wonder if that was just due to helping the flow of the lyrics (rhyming) or if that was an idea he wanted to go with initially.
Bus driver, all in red - what's the meaning there?
park it on the cliff where that green grass grows - meaning there?
@thuhreb bus driver all in red might refer to holding up the bus driver with a gun and teling him to keep driving to mexico. the bus driver might be a little red in the face during that time. could mean something else, but that's my take.

park it on a cliff where that good grass grows might be referring to marijuana, that good grass. he then talks about the chopper coming along one sunny day to burn his crops and lock him away. he was growing marijuana, maybe an opiate or something, and now the feds here to take...

it's a very fatalistic song, everything seems to be going wrong for him and he feels for his mother but wishes his, likely drunk and abusive, father would take his place in the chair -- blaming his father for his upbringing and consequent path of choices.
i'm kind of surprised there isn't more comments here, especially this many years later, but ey.
