Drive-By Truckers
Sarah’s Flame
Sarah memorized every bumper sticker
On the back of every pickup with a rebel flag
Every morning in the senior parking lot
Every weekend in the fields with the windows hot
She learned to work 'em in to every sentence
So that she made herself useful to the men who print 'em
All the way up in the balconies
Half the working class is clapping ones and threes
She had еm hearing old dixie driven down in еvery note of Barry’s baritone
Strangleholding pearls in the clutches of their liver-spotted hands
She made PC worse to momma then the VD daddy brought home from the rodeo
She made it look so easy, all fat Donny had to do was wear the pants
What’s a girl gotta do to get a little bit of credit in a place like this
For knowing night moves crowds would never heed the river’s cautionary winds
Knowing only momma’s boys would claim involuntary self-inflicted rage
Tiki’s would’ve never hit the streets if it weren’t for Sarah’s flame
Sarah memorized every bumper sticker
On the back of every pickup with a rebel flag
Every morning in the senior parking lot
Every weekend in the fields with the windows hot
(She made it look so easy)
She learned to work 'em in to every every sentence
So that she made herself useful to the men who print em
(She made it look so easy)
All the way up in the balconies half the working class is clapping ones and threes
(She made it look so easy)
Sarah memorized every bumper sticker
(all fat Donny had to do was wear the pants)
On the back of every pickup with a rebel flag
(She made it look so easy)
Every morning in the senior parking lot
(all fat Donny had to do was wear the pants)
(She made it look so easy)
Every weekend in the fields with the windows hot
