Lyric
I had a hand me down ride painted rattle can redSecond hand tires with poor boy tread Made a lot of almost love in the bed of that truck That got stuck a lotJust letter jacket boys singing Jerry Jeff songsDrinking everything we could get our hands on Learning ’bout right by doing it wrong Hoping we didn’t get caughtAnd we spent what little bit of money we hadOn wintergreen Skoal and main street gas Go get your girl, go make the drag If you’re lucky you can take her cross the rail road tracksWhere the man in the moon works his magicOn the second runner up of the 4H pageant Seems like yesterday, even though That was fourteen hundred and fifty two beers agoSkipped that town on my birthdayFor eighteen years I was headed that way Where old red stopped I just stayed In a room without a viewI met a one look girl in a two bit barI had a place, she had a car I won her heart with my guitar I sang her the homesick blues ’boutSpending what little bit of money we hadOn wintergreen Skoal and main street gas Go get your girl, go make the drag If you’re lucky you can take her cross the railroad tracksWhere the man in the moon works his magicOn the second runner up of the 4H pageant It seems like yesterday, even though That was fifteen hundred and sixty two beers agoSpending what little bit of money we hadOn wintergreen Skoal and main street gas And go get your girl and go make the drag If you’re lucky you can take her cross the railroad tracksWhere the man in the moon works his magicOn the second runner up of the 4H pageant It seems like yesterday, even though That was sixteen hundred and fifty two beersA whole lot of highway, a whole lot of yearSixteen hundred and fifty three beers ago
