Keeper
Well Lulu's by the river and she got herself a good good manSpent a half a year offshore in ole Alabam'Her friends said she should leave him and come join them in the west coast sandBut she knows she's got a keeper and they'll never really understandShe puts a line in the water when the sun comes upStarts drinking when its going downDancing all alone to the radio till her man come back aroundShe might go down to Pensacola, maybe lay out on the old Gulf ShoreBut she don't go to bars at home without him anymore She don't care about what they say, she don't listen anywayAll the roughneck rounders playing cards around the TV setWaiting around for something hasn't happened yetJoking with a dancer she said "I could help you to forget"But he knows he's got a keeper so he smiles and lights a cigarette and tips his hatHe put his head on the pillow when the sun comes upStarts working when its going down Melting hot steel down in Bienville just waiting on the turnaroundHe starts thinking about Pensacola, he could be fishing on the old Gulf ShoreBut he don't like to do those things without her anymore He don't care about what they say, man he don't listen anywayThey put their lines in the water when the sun comes upStart drinking when it's going downDancing real slow to the radio cause her man come back aroundThey might go down to Pensacola, do a little fishing on the old Gulf ShoreBut they don't like to stay out all night they way they did beforeThey don't care about what they say, she never listens anyway Aus Songtexte Mania
