Double Crossing Blues Lyrics

Twenty five minutes past quitting time

 

Seven of us crammed into that truck of mine

Paying no attention to them highway signs

 

Doing ninety miles an hour toward the county line

Quick sack

Twelve pack

Back again

 

It's a be double

E double are you in

 

My buddies and their babies letting down their hair

As long as we're together it don't matter where

Ain't got a lot of money but we just don't care

Knowing half the fun is in the getting there

 

Aztec

 

Long necks

Paychecks spent

 

Oh

 

It's a be double

E double are you in

I can't stop thinking

What the hell they were drinking

When they made this county dry

I got a week long thirst

And to make it worse

 

Lord

 

It's my turn to drive

Laughing and bragging and a' carrying on

 

We loaded up the wagons and we headed home

I guess half a dozen cases doesn't last that long

 

Come tomorrow morning it'll be all gone

 

Then

It's turn around

 

Leave town

Sounds again

 

Like a be double

 

E double are you in
