Bossier City

Well, Robbie's got a brand new girlfriend She's got a script for pills These here, man they're the good ones Counting those ten dollar bills What Mama don't know won't hurt her That's what he'd always say He's going down to Bossier City Gonna drink his cares away He's got a thousand dollars That's more than the saw mill's paying Lucy she's at her mamas But he'll lose it all today He's got a thousand dollars That's just some gasoline You know that boy, well he can gamble Like you ain't never seen What Mama don't know won't hurt her That's what he'd always say He's going down to Bossier City Gonna drink his cares away He's pulling down on that lever Like he's got cash to burn Barely too proud to beg I guess that boy will never learn He's driving back home on Sunday Praying he don't get killed You know that Lucy's kinda crazy When she ain't got her pills What Mama don't know won't hurt her That's what he'd always say He's going down to Bossier City Gonna drink his cares away What Mama don't know won't hurt her That's what he'd always say He's going down to Bossier City Gonna drink his cares away --- Bossier City - Turnpike Troubadours
