Calm down "Would you like a drink"
Polished off her little sweet pea
I drove it on down to the bar
But I'm never gettin' over Joely, yeah
Yeah, the boyfriend was sure nice to me
And I didn't know what to do
Now I'm wishing for some drugs
Raised in a different world
Drove to her house and parked there on the lawn
And I shot him full of holes from his nose to his knees
Couldn't see it just wouldn't work
But I'm never getting over Joely, yeah
Was a homegrown mountain girl
Now I'm cryin' on me knees
Grapefruit and Stoli
Or a shrink to console me
Went to the Horse Shoe on Lamar
Yeah, I'll probably get life
Feelin' dirty and unholy
Just 'Goodbye sucker I'm gone'
But I'm never gettin' over Joely
Well, the note that she wrote didn't say 'Dear John'
The bouncers threw me out there too
She was more into Merle
So I picked up the phone and I called Peg Sue
Call block wouldn't let me through
Well, I gathered up all of my guns
That's right, I always was a crazy one
But they wouldn't let me in 'cause I ain't a movie star
And I was a wanna be rocker
And serve at least forty
And now I'm double fisting long necks
And a pipe bomb just for fun
Yeah, and I poured myself in my car
