Johnny Cash - Sold Out Of Flagpoles lyrics

I walked down past the courthouse square
Three blocks or maybe four
Run into my old friend there who
Runs a handy hardware store
I said morning Lon what's the good word
He said Abraham Lincoln Lone
Ranger Mickey Mouse
And I'm sold out of flagpoles
I popped the top off a soda pop
Laid a quarter on the bar
I said inflation is a dirty dog
My payday sure isn’t going far
Liberty said Lonnie E Pluribus Uni in God we
Trust and I'm sold out of flagpoles
I said hey Lonnie did you see
Evel Knievel jumping on TV
Jumped 13 buses with his machine
Reckon he could jump 14
No doubt said Lonnie winners keep on winning
Even losers win sometimes and I'm
Sold out of flagpoles
Isn’t this been a year I said for
Frost and blight and flood and drought
Twice as many tornadoes reckon it's
All caused by fallout
No it's the season said Lonnie they change
Wind's going to blow always did and
I'm sold out of flagpoles
Hey what do you think
About the sheriff's daughter
Running' off with the preacher's son
The sheriff's wife had to hold him back
From going after them with his gun
Boys and girls said Lonnie will get together
Everything's normal and I'm sold
Out of flagpoles
And I'm sold out of flagpoles sold out
Of flagpoles sold out of flagpoles
