Drive-By Truckers - Lisa's Birthday lyrics

It's always Lisa's birthday when
I get that call
She's got no money for a cab
She's way to drunk to walk
Lisa's had more birthdays than there
Are sad country songs
About trying to love two women and
Only taking one girl home

It's a good thing that her dancing
Shoes don't run on gasoline
She could dry up Texas in one night
The way she feels that beat
If I don't find 'em under the
Bed we make love on
She's lighting Lisa's candles
They'll be burning all night long

So happy birthday Lisa, Good evening Jim Beam
Goodnight, all you socialites
Don't wait up for me


I'll be out way past the time
The scene's no sight to see
But y'all don't live with Lisa
And she don't stay with me
It's always Lisa's birthday when
I get that call
Her car's not where she parked it it's
With her wallet and her phone
Lisa's had more birthdays than there
Are sad country songs
About trying to love two women and
Only taking one girl home
I get older and Lisa
Keeps on turning twenty-one
