BOURBON AND COKE
(Music and Lyrics by Matthew Causey)
There's a road runs out the southside of town
Goes by the name of Highway 71
It's dark and it's lonely out there
But, baby we find our fun
They've got some fine liquor stores
And some dancehall shotgun shacks
We'll find us a jumpin' juke joint
Maybe we never come back
And I'll never tell your Momma
And you'll never tell my Paw
We'll get drunk on bourbon and coke
And later we'll wreck my car
Hop in this TransAm
This muscle car's feelin' alright
I got the accelerator pushed
We're goin' run every goddam red light.
You can wear your blue dress
And your see-through black lace bra
I'll put on my snake skin boots
Baby, we'll look like stars
We'll dance like two lunatics
Like they always knew that we was
Kiss me with those hot red lips
Oh god, I gotta stop this car
And I won't tell your Momma
And you'll never tell my Paw
We'll get drunk on bourbon and coke
And later we'll wreck my car
There's a road runs out the southside of town
Goes by the name of Highway 71
It's dark and it's lonely out there
But, baby we find our fun
They've got some fine liquor stores
And some dancehall shotgun shacks
We'll find us a jumpin' juke joint
Maybe we never come back
And I'll never tell your Momma
And you'll never tell my Paw
We'll get drunk on bourbon and coke
And later we'll wreck my car
