But the first thing I saw when I arrived there
Was a big black shiny shotgun in the hands of her dad
Well, alright
You know what I'm talking about
So, I got long hair but she took me back, back to see her pad
I've got to know, I've got to know her family too
They got such pretty little girls in that big town
I met a little girl there, she was about five foot eight
Make a man wanna jump around and shout
Next little woman that I date
I said, "I want you to love me"
She said, "Why man, that'd be great"
Well, if you've ever been to New York City
But if you don't want to be filled full of shotgun holes
I finally learned my lesson such a long time ago
Alright now, this is how it was, oh no!
Yes indeed, I gotta know her family too
