Pepper Coyote
Rural Alcoholism
[Intro]
All aboard!
[Verse 1]
I'm staring out the window at them rolling hills
And I'm goin' so fast, it could give me the chills
I'm on a steam train
Hustlin' and bustlin' down the railroads
[Verse 2]
I'm sittin' on a seat with some whiskey in my hand
I can't turn back, for Georgia I've been banned
I'm headed Alabam'
Try'na see my family for a day or two
[Verse 3]
Maw and Paw, I'll be happy to see
And little Johnny Tim Thorton McGee
But the one I'm here to meet
Is baby doll Allison, no one can compete!
[Verse 4]
In the middle of my thinkin', I awoke to the sight
It was a man, he gave me a fright
I asked him why he's here
And this what he said to me:
[Verse 5: Pepper Coyote]
I’m riding on this train so I can finally see
The gosh darn Talladega NASCAR Grand Prix
Some people call it trash, and some people call it art
Man, I just wanna see the legend, Dale Earnhardt
[Verse 6: Pepper Coyote]
Got a bottle of whiskey ‘cause they were selling them for free
Best day of my life, I can say truly
I am hoping indeed that your journey will be swell
This is my stop, farewell
[Verse 7]
I sat in confusion, 'cause I was dazed at his story
In all my life, I never heard of free whiskey
He seemed unfamiliar
But I feel like I heard his voice before
[Verse 8]
His story stuck with me since that blessed day
It changed how I acted in so many ways
But after he left, I looked out the window
To watch the fee birds soar
[Verse 9]
That's my story, y'all
I hope you had a blessed evenin'
And, go to the next NASCAR
[Outro]
