Reckless Kelly Crazy Eddies' Last Hurrah
It sure didn't take too long
Woke up in the mornin', she's gone
Well, the note that she wrote didn't say 'Dear John'
Just 'Goodbye sucker I'm gone'
Was a homegrown mountain girl
Raised in a different world
And I was a wanna be rocker
She was more into Merle
Couldn't see it just wouldn't work
And now I'm double fisting long necks
Grapefruit and Stoli
But I'm never gettin' over Joely, yeah
Yeah, and I poured myself in my car
I drove it on down to the bar
But they wouldn't let me in 'cause I ain't a movie star
Went to the Horse Shoe on Lamar
The bouncers threw me out there too
And I didn't know what to do
So I picked up the phone and I called Peg Sue
Call block wouldn't let me through
Now I'm wishing for some drugs
Or a shrink to console me
But I'm never getting over Joely, yeah
Well, I gathered up all of my guns
And a pipe bomb just for fun
Drove to her house and parked there on the lawn
That's right, I always was a crazy one
Yeah, the boyfriend was sure nice to me
Calm down "Would you like a drink"
And I shot him full of holes from his nose to his knees
Polished off her little sweet pea
Now I'm cryin' on me knees
Feelin' dirty and unholy
But I'm never gettin' over Joely
Yeah, I'll probably get life
And serve at least forty
Never gettin' over Joely, hey
