. . ."antithesis of the 'Boot Scootin
Boogie'. Right up my alley."
I was sittin' on the fender of someone else's truck
Drinking Old Crow whisky, hot 7-up
Out in the parking lot
You can hear the band a playin right through the wall
Ain't no cover charge, there ain't no last call
Out in the parking lot
Now there's a couple of cowpokes puttin' up there dukes
Wasn't much to it after both of æ…¹m puked
Out in the parking lot
Now someone called the police and the police finally came
And they wrote æ…¹m a couple of tickets
and they took a couple of names
Out in the parking lot
Chorus
I love to see the neon dancin' on the gravel
I love to hear the pickup trucks come unraveled
Some have given up, some have given in
Looks like everybody's looking for a friend
Out in the parking lot
Oops there's a couple who could not wait to get home
They're probably in love so let's leave them alone
Out in the parking lot
The band is on the bus, they're all loaded up to leave
But the drummer's got a girlfriend and
she's tuggin at his sleeve
Out in the parking lot
Chorus
Everybody's gone, they've shut out all the lights
The dust begins to settle and it's never been so quiet
Out in the parking lot
