Skinny Bobby runs a little backwater still
For the good ole boys at the bar
He used to work hard, 'fore they laid him off
At the grocery store
But no one buys their groceries at the Dewdrop anymore
And Bobby's moonshine makes you blind but that's why you drink it down
Twenty dollars still buys you a bit of fun here tonight
Bobby's sister Pearl's an educated girl
Just moved back from New Orleans
And she looks better in a loose knit sweater and tight blue jeans
And when she dances the boys just nod their heads to keep time
Cause Bobby's moonshine makes you blind but that's why you drink it down
And I'm gonna get mine
If it takes my life
Twenty dollars still buys you a bit of fun here tonight
Cut grass cooking on the neighbour's yard and
Deer Tick is on the radio
Corn mash boiling through the rest of this story
Like you don't know
When night rolls around and you can see the bonfire burn clear from the county line
Like a neon sign says
"Outta work but you're into gettin' down
Twenty dollars still buys you a bit of fun in this town"
He put an office in the barn he's gonna burn that bitch to the ground
Dancing 'round the fire with the beauty that he's found
Singing, "Oh my my, we're the bad guys now"
And I'm gonna get mine
If it takes my life
And I'm gonna get mine
If it takes my life
And I'm gonna get mine
If it takes my life
And I'm gonna get mine
If it takes my life
Twenty dollars still buys you a bit of fun here tonight
