Turnpike Troubadours - Bossier City lyrics
[Turnpike Troubadours - Bossier City lyrics]
Well Robbie's got a brand new girlfriend
She's got a script for pills
These here, man they're the good ones
Countin' those ten dollar bills
"What Mama don't know won't hurt her"
That's what he'd always say
He's goin' down to Bossier City
Gonna drink his cares away
He's got a thousand dollars
That's more than sawmill pay
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 goin' down to Bossier City
Gonna drink his cares away
He's pullin' down on that lever
Like he's got cash to burn
Barely too proud to beg
I guess that boy'll never learn
He's drivin' back home on Sunday
Prayin' 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 goin' 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 goin' down to Bossier City
Gonna drink his cares away
She's got a script for pills
These here, man they're the good ones
Countin' those ten dollar bills
"What Mama don't know won't hurt her"
That's what he'd always say
He's goin' down to Bossier City
Gonna drink his cares away
He's got a thousand dollars
That's more than sawmill pay
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 goin' down to Bossier City
Gonna drink his cares away
He's pullin' down on that lever
Like he's got cash to burn
Barely too proud to beg
I guess that boy'll never learn
He's drivin' back home on Sunday
Prayin' 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 goin' 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 goin' down to Bossier City
Gonna drink his cares away
