Sam Baker Odessa
He was an odessa boy with a daddy in the money Played for mojo back in the boom Drove a corvette Took what he wanted People learned to give him lots of room He never learned to work But that never really mattered Cause the dark crude flowed The wild oats scattered Dark crude flowed He fought he flattered And he got what he wanted It was the only thing that mattered Life was easy The big jacks pumped Pulling cash from the permian field Cabinets full of high-grade scotch Garage full of high-speed steel He never learned to work But that never really mattered Cause the dark crude flowed The wild oats scattered Dark crude flowed Dark crude flowed He fought he flattered And he got what he wanted that was the only thing that mattered He killed a girl when he rolled the corvette Daddy's money made her lawyers go away His mother bought vodka with all that cash She kind of knew Yeah she kind of knew He's an old man now Lives on his dead daddy's place Never took a wife He is going to die without a trace See he loved the girl who was penned in the vette Talks to her everyday Her face was blood and diamonds He remembers her that way He never learned to work But that never really mattered Cause the dark crude flowed The wild oats scattered Dark crude flowed He fought he flattered And he got what he wanted It was the only thing that mattered
