Drive-By Truckers - Go-Go Boots lyrics

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
