Was another beer drinkin' Friday afternnon at Jimmy's tavern
|
This cowboy he came struttin' in with a big cigar in his mouth a total stranger
|
Wore silver toed high heeled boots and a big old horseshoe diamond ring
|
Hung his big white Stetson hat on the rack by the pinball machine
|
He walked up to the bar ordered ten rolls of nickels and a Schlitz
|
He handed Jim a fifty dollar bill from his big old fat money clip
|
He walked over to the pinball and kicked the legs till she leveled up with that floor
|
Dropped them nickels in till he had every odd and feature lit up on that board
|
Cowboy had Jim's tavern lookin' like a pinball convention
|
He politely asked for some breathin' room and never showed any signs of tension
|
He fired three balls in a row sunk a lucky ten twelve and a deuce
|
When we finished rollin' all that lead he was about four hundred bucks to the good
|
Ol' Jim was countin' pennies but still come up about twelve dollars shy
|
Cowboy said I'll just take a case of beer and let's let the rest of it slide
|
He picked up that big white Stetson case of beer and he made it for the door
|
I said hey cowboy if you're feelin' lucky let's shuffle one for fifty down that board
|
Well Lucy was my good luck charm he didn't know it he let her toss that coin
|
I gave cowboy the honors he called tails and naturally I won
|
So I stepped aside and he laid a three for me to win it was gonna take a four
|
Well I let it sail and Lucy smiled and I knew that puck was hangin' off the board
|
Well it's another beer drinkin' Friday but Jimmy's tavern just ain't the same
|
No Wager signs everywhere no shuffleboard and no pinball machines
|
No Jim's checkin' every federal note with that looking glass that he keeps in the till
|
Since cowboy took us for a ride with this counterfeit fifty dollar bills
|
Oh I bet that ring was made outta glass and he's laughin' out his back pocket
