A couple of frat guys from Abilene
Drove out all night to see Robert Earl Keen
At the Kpei swine and sworay dance
They wore baseball caps and khaki pants
They wanted cigarettes so to save a little money
They got one from this hippie who smelt kinda funny
And next thing they knew they were both pretty hungry
And pretty thirsty tooo

Found a store with a sign said, "Their beer was coldest"
So they sent, in Brad, 'cause he looked the oldest
He got a case of beer and a candy bar
Walked over to where all them registers are
Layed his fake ID on the counter top
The clerk looked and turned and looked back up
And stopped and said, "Boy, I'm not gonna call the cops
But I'm gonna have to keep this card"
The guys both took it pretty hard

Oh, how happy we would be
Had we only brought a better fake ID

They found this another old hippie named Sleepie John
He claimed to be the one from the Robert Earl song
So they gave him all the cash, he bought 'em some brooze
Was a beautiful day out in Santa Cruz
They were feelin' so good it shoulda been a crime
The crowd was cool and the band was prime
They made it back up front to their seats just in time
To sing with all their friends
"The road goes on forever and the party never ends"
