Her father was a failure her mother was a comfort to a doctor

And lawyer and indian chief the shirt ran out of buttons

He lost all his marbles at a baseball game and they went on relief

The bank took away their diplomas they locked them up inside

Of the chest and she moved away to oklahoma

And got a tattoo on the side of her breast god damn

My socks are still hard from lying on the sofa on the night

She was over in my backyard yeah we was shooting the breeze out

Amongst the trees when a shot rang low and left her standing

Down by the side of the road down by the side of the road

Father have mercy get her a nurse please she's almost alone

I saw her hand reaching out for the telephone we rather see her

Locked up inside a home than see her standing

Down by the side of the road down by the side of the road

Headlights flashing on her skirt in the wind yonder comes a truck

It drove by two men shotgun man leaned out and said

"do you want to take a ride?" out in the pale moonlight light

Light light lie lie lie lie

Too long in the hot sun she could've be miss wisconsin

A long time ago spent to much time inside of the early show

We'd bought her a ticket but she didn't want to go she was standing

Down by the side of the road down by the side of the road

Headlights flashing caught a skirt in the wind yonder comes a truck

It drove by two men shotgun man leaned out and said

"do you want to take a ride?" out in through the pale moonlight

Her father was a failure her mother was a comfort to a doctor

And lawyer and indian chief the shirt ran out of buttons

He lost all his marbles at a baseball game and they went on relief

The bank took away their diplomas they locked them up inside

Of the chest and she moved away to oklahoma

And got a tattoo on the side of her breast god damn

My socks are still hard from lying on the sofa on the night

She was over in my backyard yeah we was shooting the breeze out

Amongst the trees when a shot rang low and left her standing

Down by the side of the road down by the side of the road
