Intro 
It's a struggle / Livin' like a good boy oughta 
In the summer / Watchin' all the girls pass by 
When your mama / Heard the way that you'd been talking 
I tried to tell you / That all she'd wanna do is cry 
 
Now we end up takin' the long way home 
Lookin' overdressed wearin' buckets of stale cologne 
It's so hard to see streets on a country road 
When your glasses in the garbage 
And your Continental's just got towed 
 
{Repeat Chorus x 2}
