Bobby wished he was from the past
|
He said those cars they used to drive were the best
|
I know that I'm a simple man
|
Even my dreams I deserve to have
|
|
Annabel had plans of her own
|
She said there's no way in hell I'm going home
|
Mamma says she always knows best
|
God love her, but her life is a mess
|
|
I won't change my mind
|
So keep your hand on my thigh tonight
|
When we get up north
|
We'll buy us a store
|
I won't fight in an oil man's war
|
|
Bobby bought a brand new suit
|
From his neighbour bought round toe shoes
|
Stuffed the money down in his socks
|
On his way he bought a wrist corsage
|
|
Annie was scared to death
|
She'd never once in her life laid with a man
|
But she knew it was his only chance
|
She bought a white dress second hand
|
|
I won't change my mind
|
Keep your hand on my thigh tonight
|
When we get up north
|
We'll buy us a store
|
I won't fight in an oil man's war
|
|
You can't say it's just a matter of pride
|
I've been living here since I was a child
|
And now I'm just a simple man
|
But even my dreams I deserve to have
|
|
I won't change my mind
|
Keep your hand on my thigh tonight
|
When we get up north
|
We'll buy us a store
|
Live upstairs after the kids are born
|
|
And I'm not gonna die
|
So keep your hand on my thigh tonight
|
'Cause when we get up north we'll buy us a store
|
I won't fight in an oil man's war
|
I won't fight in an oil man's war
|
