Well it was midnight cold and rainy In the sleepy town of Fairburn population small An angry man stood out on mainstreet Shiverin' in his coatsleeves by the City Hall wall The many of a car that passed him in for an hour But they wouldn't look at him at all
So he yelled damn you friends and neighbors you won't give me a ride My feet are sore from walking and I'm frozed by inside Lord a man could catch his death of colds or a severe case of flu Thanks to friends and neighbors like you
Well he come storming into my restaurant Dripping water soaked and were in a freezing cold I poured him a hot black cup of coffee took his coat off cursing mad And here's the tale that he old Said I picked up a young hitchhiker Took my bill fold and my car and left me off down the road
Well I must have walked for hours to get here Went to see your friendly sheriff in my desperation He'd just sit there and pick his teeth Laughed a little when I told him of my sitation And when I finished he leaned back and belched Said let me see some identification
Cause he said damn you friends and neighbors seems like every Saturday night I get an awful full of this same old bull cause I'm drunk as off half tight Hey the weekend's same old story don't get home till one or two Thanks to friends and neighbors like you
Well I called your sheriff a dirty name Then was thrown out through his front door by a big deputy I hit that sidewalk cursin' shook my fist back in his face Said you can't do this to me Cause I'm a circuit judge for Monroe sheriff And you gonna pay for all this indignity
Well I've seen some angry people But I've never seen a man as mad as that fellow was He said I never did like feather I hate the rain I hate hitchhikers And I'm sick of your local fuss And if ever I saw one town that needs another sheriff This is one town that does
And he yelled damn you friends and neighbors as he grabbed his coat to leave Well it's just too funny to believe Lord I could write a book of jokes about what I've been through In this town of friends and neighbors like youTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
