(To him it's the greatest thing on earth, I think these guys are sick!)
Outside the bar where I was cashier
He'd wait eagle-eyed
And guard the lot where the rapists roamed
Passing 4 x 4's
Make the next right
Turn at Big Otter
In the middle of nowhere
In the middle of the night
My hometown paper
Has the best news
Beautiful trees, humid heat
Made me think
What if I married Junior
The Viet vet parking attendant
Would it be so bad?
Would it be so bad?
I had nothing to fear
Except maybe him, cause he was kind of...what's the word?
Unpredictable
Van and Tammy with their popsicle stains
Drink cherry cola
From a big litre bottle
From a big litre bottle
On the dirt lawn
Mud when it rains
Turtle shells right from the sun
Dinner at Suzy-Q's
Jackpot bingo nothing to lose
There'll be no fooling around no more
There'll be no fooling around no more
Cause he's the only one
He's the only one for me
He's the only one...
Would it be so bad?
And he'd tell me what it's like to be shot
Feels like a cigarette burning, a burning that never stops
