Me and my buddy got us a wild And figured we to go somewhere So we loaded up in my ragtop We had a little bit of money and a lot of show And with Junior blaring on the radio We got a full of gas and we was on our way
We figured go down to New Orleans We were down old 17 When a man with a blinking red was on our tail He said, "You doin' 60 in a 45 But I'm gonna let you go this But if I catch you again, I'm slap you in the county jail"
We said, "Thank you sir, you been nice And you ain't gonna to tell us twice" And we were and down with the wind blowing in our faces We kept on and pretty soon The radio was cooking out a tune And we were pulling into and checking out all the places
I was feeling dry and I said, "I We ought to stop and get a drink" Old Jim said, "Yeah we got time to kill" We kept on rolling and I this spot We into the parking lot Of this place called, Cloud Nine Bar and Grill'
We walked through the door and the place was The lights were low, had a punk rock band And some orange haired feller about suicide I said, "Jim, this ain't our kind of He said, "Well, let's have one round anyway" So against my better we walked on inside
up to the bar and we sat down This feller walked up and said, "I'll buy round" And he sat down on the next to Jim He looked a girl but he talked like a guy He had on and mascara in his eyes And everybody in that place looked just about him
I said, "Jim, this ain't our of bar just go on out and get back in the car 'Cause there's gonna be trouble, no sense in taking a chance" We was getting up, ready to leave somebody grabbed old Jim by the sleeve And this good looking girl, she was asking my buddy to
I said, "Jim, don't do it, something missing There's fellers dancing and kissing There's a in high heeled shoes wearing panty hose" He said, "Partner, I just can't turn down You just go over there and have one round dance with the lady and we'll get on down the road"
So he walked and left me alone But this funny looking feller kept on And he was making me mad with some of the he said Then he put his on my knee I said, "If you get your paw off me I'm gonna locate your around the other side of your head"
He said, "I it when you get that fire in your eye I said, "Well, try this on for size" And I unloaded on him and he went out like a Everybody in that place must have his friend They all for me, I said, "This is the end" But where I come from, we don't give up a fight
They were screaming and yelling and and clawing I was punching and hitting and and pawing I was holding my own, 'cause been in a scrap or two Old Jim running up out of the blue And that gal he was with, running up too And to beat on me with a high heel shoe
I her by the hair it came off in my hand And that beautiful girl was just a man And old Jim got sick right there on the floor He that dude like a shot from a gun Smeared his lipstick, his makeup run And me and old Jim fighting our way to the door
Man, we lit out of in that Chevrolet I put in on the and it stayed that way We was going' down the highway doing a hundred and ten We were for home and we was getting nearer a red light came on the rear view mirror And that same cop was pulling us over again
Now I'm sitting' here in this jail I had to call my Daddy to go our But I learned me a that I never will forget again I've done give up drinking', give up bars And running around the country in souped up I'm going back where the women are and the men are men
