go-go boots

Drive By

He packed a big-ass church out near Rogersville
He drove the Cadillac she drove the Oldsmobile
Every Friday he shacked up with his mistress
Doing things that he'd never do with the Mrs
Who was back at home cooking dinner for him

They had a son who never had the calling
He went all over town drinking and balling
Got some girl pregnant when he was still a teen
Working at Mcdonalds and pumping gasoline
Driving that Camaro fast with all his friends

Daddy's been preaching the word
ever since he was twelve
All about a merciful savior and the fires of hell
I know he meant it, so what's a little straying
He got everybody singing and a praying
That devil better not come back down here again

Missy wore them go-go boots; it did something for him
Made him think his wife back home
was homely and boring
He met these guys who didn't mind getting dirty
He was a pillar and his alibi was sturdy
It only took a little bit of cash and the deed was done

Stained glass windows, Jesus looking down
Organs playing music to the middle aged crowd
His wife's in the ground the devil's in his head
Them go-go boots are underneath the bed

But it's a small town and word gets around

Gossip is a flying and his son starts to thinking
He see's his Daddy's new wife driving around in a Lincoln
There's a lot he'd like to ask if he could get the chance
But he's scared he might have to kill the old man
He wonders what the Lord will say
when he weighs it all out

It's a small town. Go-Go Boots
