I'm just one promise away
From a big marquee in front of the small town theater girl
Pretty red rope set up for you
The popcorn's fresh and the Coke is too
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
And don't forget we got private room with the proper view
Where you can watch 'em come on through
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

I'm just one bottle away from a good buzz
In the broad of day time
Makin' love to my favorite girl
She's undressed in the private room
The sheets are fresh and the coke is too
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
And don't forget we got cameras watching what you do
Paparazzi come unglued
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

But now I'm right back in Louisiana
There must be something in this southern draw now
That keeps me next to you
Right there on this levy line now
I'll just lean against the wall
With this hole inside my head
Yeah, drinking me rotten
Loaded it up, shoot it down, drinking me rotten
All day, here they come knocking
Load me up, shoot me down, drinking me rotten

I'm just one train car away from a trench coat in Columbine
Best friend on the front line
Battlefield all red, white and blue
Poor young boy and they come for you
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
And don't forget we got college all paid free bed and suit
No more hungry nights for you
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

We're just one paper away from a free ride on a magic mushroom
No broken straws on the bottom
All swept up for the palisade
Titled crown wind swept toupees
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
And don't forget we got parking spots reserved for two
A check and a 21 gun salute
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

But now I'm right back in Louisiana
There must be something in this southern draw now
That keeps me next to you
Right there on this levy line now
I'll just lean against the wall
With this hole inside my head
Yeah, drinkin' me rotten
Loaded it up, shoot it down, drinkin' me rotten
All day, here they come knockin'
Load me up, shoot me down, drinkin' me rotten

With this hole inside my head
With this hole inside my head
With this hole inside my head
With this hole inside my head
With this hole inside my head
Your left, your left, your left, right, left
Your left, your left, your left, right, left
Your left, your left, your left, right, left
Your left, your left, your left, right, left
Your left, your left, your left, right, left
Your left, your left, your left, right, left
