Bobby wished he was from the past

He said those cars they used to drive were the best

I know that I'm a simple man

Even my dreams I deserve to have

Annabel had plans of her own

She said there's no way in hell I'm going home

Mamma says she always knows best

God love her, but her life is a mess

I won't change my mind

So keep your hand on my thigh tonight

When we get up north

We'll buy us a store

I won't fight in an oil man's war

Bobby bought a brand new suit

From his neighbor bought round toe shoes

Stuffed the money down in his socks

On his way he bought a wrist corsage

Annie was scared to death

She'd never once in her life laid with a man

But she knew it was his only chance

She bought a white dress second hand

I won't change my mind

Keep your hand on my thigh tonight

When we get up north

We'll buy us a store

I won't fight in an oil man's war

You can't say it's just a matter of pride

I've been living here since I was a child

And now I'm just a simple man

But even my dreams I deserve to have

I won't change my mind

Keep your hand on my thigh tonight

When we get up north

We'll buy us a store

Live upstairs after the kids are born

And I'm not gonna die

So keep your hand on my thigh tonight

'Cause when we get up north we'll buy us a store

I won't fight in an oil man's war

I won't fight in an oil man's war
