[Verse 1]
A
Me and my buddy got us a wild hair
D
And figured we wanted to go somewhere
E A
So we loaded up in my ragtop Chevrolet
A
We had a little bit of money
A
And a whole lot of show
D
And with Hank Jr. blaring on the radio
E
We got us a tank full of gas
A
And we was on our way
[Verse 2]
A
We figured we'd go down to New Orleans
D
We were barrelling down old 17
E
When a man with a blinking red light
A
Was on our tail
A
He said you were doing 60 in a 45
D
But I'm gonna let you go this time
E
But if I catch you again
A
I'm gonna slap you in the county jail
[Verse 3]
A
We said thank you sir you sure been nice
D
And you ain't gonna have to tell us twice
E
And we were Southbound and down with the wind
A
Blowing in our faces
A
We kept on rolling and pretty soon
D
The radio was cooking out a Haggard tune
E
And we were pulling into Houston
A
Checking out all them places
[Verse 4]
A
I was feeling dry and I said I think
D
We ought to stop and get ourselves a drink
E A
And old Jim said yeah 'cause we got time to kill
A
We kept on rolling and I seen this spot
D
And we pulled into the parking lot
E A
Of this place called the Cloud Nine Bar and Grill
[Verse 5]
A
We walked through the door
And the place was jammed
D
The lights were low they had a punk rock band
E A
And some orange haired feller singing about suicide
A
I said Jim this ain't our kind of place
D
He said well let's just have one round anyway
E A
So against my better judgement we walked on inside
A
Went up to the bar and we sat down
D
This feller walked up and said I'll buy this round
E A
And he sat down on the barstool next to Jim
[Verse 6]
A
He looked like a girl but he talked like a guy
D
He had lipstick on and mascara in his eyes
E A
And everybody in that place looked just about like him
A
I said Jim this ain't our kind of bar
D
Let's just go on out and get back in the car
E
'Cause there's gonna be trouble
A
Ain't no sense in taking a chance
A
We was getting up getting ready to leave
D
When somebody grabbed old Jim by the sleeve
E A
And this good looking girl was asking my buddy to dance
[Verse 7]
A
I said Jim don't do it there's something missing
D
There's fellers dancing and fellers kissing
E A
There's a feller in high heeled shoes wearing panty hose
A
He said partner I just can't turn this down
D
You just go over there and have one more round
E
And I'll dance with the lady
A
And we'll get on down the road
[Verse 8]
A
So he walked away and left me alone
D
But this funny looking feller kept coming on
E A
And he was making me mad with some of the things he said
A
Then he put his hand on my knee
D
I said if you don't get your paw off me
E
I'm gonna locate your nose around
A
The other side of your head
[Verse 9]
A
He said I love it when you get that fire in your eye
D
I said well partner try this on for size
E A
And I unloaded on him and he went out like a light
A
Everybody in that place must have been his friend
D
They all headed for me I said this is the end
E
But where I come from we don't give up
A
Without a fight
[Verse 10]
A
They were screaming and yelling and scratching and clawing
D
I was punching and hitting and kicking and pawing
E A
I was holding my own 'cause I've been in a scrap or two
A
Old Jim come running up out of the blue
D
And that gal he was with come running up too
E A
And proceeded to beat on me with a high heel shoe
[Verse 11]
A
I grabbed her by the hair it came off in my hand
D
And that beautiful girl was just a beautiful man
E A
And old Jim just got sick right there on the floor
A
He dropped that dude like a shot from a gun
D
Smeared his lipstick made his makeup run
E A
And me and old Jim started fighting our way to the door
[Verse 12]
A
We lit out of there in that Chevrolet
D
I put in on the floor and it stayed that way
E
We were going down the highway
A
Doing about a hundred and ten
A
We were headed for home and we was getting nearer
D
Then a red light came on the rear view mirror
E A
And that same blame cop was pulling us over again
[Verse 13]
A
Now I'm sitting here in this county jail
D
I had to call my daddy to go our bail
E
But I learned me a lesson
A
That I never will forget again
A
I've done give up drinking I've give up bars
D
And running around the country in souped up cars
E
To be back where the women are women
A
And the men are men
A
Me and my buddy got us a wild hair
D
And figured we wanted to go somewhere
