Dave Swinehart
Dave was born in a trunk
His mama died and his daddy got drunk
He grew up in a rusty shack
All he had was hangin' on his back
Dave learned to sing and play guitar
You can hear him playin' at your local bar
If you see him out there stick around
Cause he and BAD HABIT have got a killer sound
