Wrote a song I know something about
They told me one time don't ever write a song unless you know something about what you're writing about
And I knew something about this
It was another slow day at Turner's music store
When Ben Ridgedale and Lulu came in through the door
They were looking for a bassist and Markie could be found
He had some debts to pay off cause Markie played around
He saw Lulu in her moo moo and his come-mit-ment was firm
He'd join them at the Bloody Bucket and play amongst the ferns
Markie sharpen up your axe and pluck those bass strings hard
Cause Hell's broke out in Pierson and your psyche has been scarred
And if you live on through this night Your path is paved with gold
Don't let the Bloody Bucket take your soul
Billy Bob Buford was having a real bad day
Lost his fernery job and all of his back pay
He went home and then his mama started in on her attacks
Billy Bob had had enough and went to fetch his axe
He chopped her up and wore her clothes to accentuate his rear
Then he decided it felt like time to head out for a beer
Billy Bob sharpen up your axe and pluck those eyebrows thin
Wearing your dead mama's dress tonight and looking for a friend
And if you find that friend, he might just make you his little wife
Don't let the Bloody Bucket take your life
Evening came around and Mark was fearing for his life
Lulu, well she turned out to be Ben Ridgedale's wife
When an older woman stepped up with a 20-dollar bill
She had a special request that only Mark could fill
He'd meet her in the parking lot when this set was wrapped up
And then fill up her request inside her pickup truck
And they played
Southern Loving Magazine
Wildest thing you've ever seen
The Bull and Mexico at the same time
But everything crashed when they ran outta time....
So when the set had wrapped up Markie unstrapped then stepped down
He was looking for the lady who was nowhere to be found
Then he saw her with the police about to be taken away
They removed Billy Bob's wig and Markie found out he was gay
Lulu spilled out of her moo moo falling off the bandstand
Markie was just standing there and trying to understand
And they played
Within This ol' Heart of Mine
You know She's Hot and you know she's fine
They caught Billy Bob for his hideous crime
Put him away now he's serving Time...
The years have passed and Markie still thinks about that night
Seeing Billy Bob taken away, he can't forget the sight
And he can't forget olโ Lulu, with her moo moo gone astray
So late at night, when the feeling's right he whips out his axe and plays
You might think he thinks of Lulu while he's fiddling with his knob
But you'd be wrong because he dreams of good old Billy Bob
And they played
Southern Loving Magazine
Wildest thing you've ever seen
The Bull and Mexico at the same time
Everything came out when Markie had Time....
