Givin' It Up

Me and the boys, we play in a band,

Wes and the Skeeters they call us;

They’re good ole boys, I’ll give em a hand

Great music without a big fuss.

 

We’re doctors and lawyers and such,

But, we like pickin guitars and drivin old trucks.

We’re From the Country, and we like it that way

If you call the country, the old US of A.

 

We play Jerry Jeff Walker, and Asleep at the Wheel

Merle and The Eagles give a Peaceful Easy Feel.

But, pretty Momma Don’t Dance in a House of Blue Lights,

So we Play That Funky Music, and Hold On, tight!

 

Now, one Wild Night after the Midnight Hour,

We conjured up Elvis for some extra power,

‘an a Spooky gal questioned, “Hey, boys What’s Your Name?”

We said, we’re The Skeeters, and if its all the same,

You’re Poke Salad Annie – we’ve heard of your fame.

 

So, we tell her to stay and yell “Bring in the whole crew”,

And, Mustang Sally, and Sweet Caroline,

Could really Shake some Booty with that Sangria Wine.

Great Balls of Fire, it sure seemed fine,

We ordered nachos, burritos and tacos, who knows?

“Hell, we don’t care how it usually goes.”

 

Then a Crazy Little Thing happened as we’re Givin’ It Up,

Some Redneck Mother in a GMC pick-up truck

Lookin, Mercy, like the Cover of the Rolling Stone.

He yells out “Peg, Pick Up The Phone!”

We think he’s straight from Margaritaville, and Bad to the Bone.

 

He’d been chased down Route 66 by the Highway Patrol,

Lovesick over some Brown Eyed Girl he’d taken to roll

In the sheets down in the little town of LaGrange.

We just thought it a little strange.

 

He was down on his luck and ain’t got a buck

We all said, “He’s a gonner, I suppose”,

He hollers “Fly Me to the Moon”

Well, That’s The Way Love Goes.

 

The next afternoon, - Saturday in the Park

I was thinking about headin down to old Mexico

I lay around thinking till after dark,

It sounds real sweet with the sun sinkin low

But, I’ve never really been, so I don’t really know.

 

Maybe spend three days by the ocean

Lookin’ for some peace and quiet.

Maybe I’ll find a real beauty, - a Mexican cutie.

“Hey! Seniorita Mas Fina – come and love me por favor!”

 

Then I come Strait back to my senses

I don’t need to cross no stinkin’ fences.

I’m proud to be an American, where I know I’m free,

And, Texas is the place I dearly love to be.
