Well, I I was in a room with some kind of a nut When he pulled out that pack of cigarette butts So thats when I told him, We cant use you So I handed the boy a dollar and I him on his way
Well, the got back and we both had a laugh When I told him bout the Tupelo Flash And pretty soon I had the circlin' around this Mississippi nut that we had in our town
