The Mercury

Lyrics

Lorrie laughs like she just don't care
 Got a red bandana and raven hair
 Sitting in the corner at The Mercury
 Cowboy killers in a plain white tee
 And back before the glasses and the sleeve tattoos
 She's just another small town kid
 And sure, she's gotta couple problems now
 But she doesn't try to keep 'em hid
 Her kind of loving is a little like a fist fight
 Alright, alright
 The kind of thing you never see before midnight
 Girl, I know you're gonna wreck this town
 I want you tell me where to be when the walls start falling
 ♪
 Well, I've never seen Jimmy in that old Corvette
 He looks like hell, but he ain't dead yet
 Rough around the edges, but his clothes are clean
 Hayseed dressed up like James Dean
 And any way I play it, well, I can't get him to say it
 But I think that him and Lorrie were a thing
 Well, come now that I think about it
 He don't say much of anything
 Her kind of loving is a little like a fist fight
 Alright, alright
 The kind of thing you never see before midnight
 Girl, I know you're gonna wreck this town
 I want you tell me where to be when the walls start falling
 ♪
 Well, it's 1 a.m., and wild and loud
 Like sittin' in the middle of a funnel cloud
 A five-spot for a shot and a beer
 Now, do you wonder how we wound up here
 I tell you friend that every now and then
 And it's like a money game of cut-throat pool
 Lorrie's talking just a little too sweet to me
 Jimmy's in the next bar stool
 Her kind of loving is a little like a fist fight
 Alright, alright
 The kind of thing you never see before midnight
 ♪
 Well, it's throwback punks and daytime drunks
 And PBR's and stouts
 Lorrie's over by the jukebox now
 Dancing to the "Twist and Shout"
 And Jimmy's storming out the front door
 Lord, you'd think someone had died
 I ain't going anywhere at all
 Now, I'm about to hit my stride
 The kind of loving is a little like a fist fight
 Alright, alright
 The kind of thing you never see before midnight
 Girl, I know you're gonna wreck this town
 Won't you tell me where to be when the walls start falling?
 Girl, I know you're gonna wreck this town
 Won't you tell me where to be when the walls start falling?
 Girl, I know you're gonna wreck this town
 I want you tell me where to be when the walls start falling
 Girl, I know you're gonna wreck this town
 Won't you tell me where to be when the walls start falling down?
