Rickey and Dickey

Standing in the sun

Out there on that highway and the dog wouldn't run

Rickey rolled a number

Dickey raised the hood

Time we hit Daytona I was feeling pretty good

Oh, mama I'm about to give out

Oh, mama I'm about to give out

I'm Davey Crockett in a coonskin town

Oh, mama I'm about to give out

Karaoke Katie drove the crowd wild

Every time she'd sing they'd come in for miles

Curtain came up

Katie came on

Drinking like a lumberjack

And singing Delta Dawn

Oh, mama I'm about to give out

Oh, mama I'm about to give out

I'm Davey Crockett in a coonskin town

Oh, mama I'm about to give out

Yeah, I hit town hard last night

Abraham and Moses

Some other friends of mine

Moses started drinkin' he got a little rude

We woke up in the bushes

Beat to Hell and nude

Oh, mama I'm about to give out

Oh, mama I'm about to give out

I'm Davey Crockett in a coonskin town

Oh, mama, I'm about to give out

I'm Roy Rogers in a one horse town

Oh, mama I'm about to give out

I'm about to give out

I'm about to give out
