Oil Man's War

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 neighbor 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 --- Oil Man's War - Kathleen Edwards
