Confederate Railroad
Trashy Women
Well, I raised in a sophisticated kind of style Yeah, my taste in music and women drove my folks half wild Mom and dad had a plan for me, it was debutantes and symphonies But I like my music hot, I like my women wild CHORUS Yeah, I like my women just a little on the trashy side When they wear their clothes too tight and their hair is dyed Too much lipstick and too much rouge Gets me excited, leaves me feeling confused And I like my women just a little on the trashy side Should've seen the looks on the faces of my dad and mom When I showed up at the door with a date for the senior prom They said, well, pardon us son, she ain't no kid That's a cocktail waitress in a Dolly Parton wig I said I know it dad, ain't she cool, that's the kind I dig REPEAT CHORUS I like 'em sweet, I like 'em with a heart of gold Yeah and I like 'em brassy, I like 'em brazen and bold Well, they say opposites attract, but I don't agree I want a woman just as tacky as me Yeah, I like my women just a little on the trashy side REPEAT CHORUS Queen of Memphis
I hitchhiked up to Memphis, a young boy in my prime I thought that big old city could ease my Georgia mind After just one hour, I met this Southern girl She said, "They call me the Queen of Memphis" And then she took me around the world I saw stars dancing on the water I heard Elvis singing "Blue Suede Shoes" That old muddy river was my witness The night I fell in love with the Queen of Memphis I woke up the next morning a prisoner of her charms She showed me things, I'd never seen back there on that farm She set my soul on fire, she completed all my dream A boy became a man that night in the arms of the Memphis Queen I saw stars dancing on the water I heard Elvis singing "Blue Suede Shoes" That old muddy river was my witness The night I fell in love with the Queen of Memphis Just like that old man river She keeps rolling through my mind And you know I won't forget her 'Cause she was one of a kind I saw stars dancing on the water I heard Elvis singing "Blue Suede Shoes" That old muddy river was my witness The night I fell in love with the Queen of Memphis I am still in love with the Queen of Memphis |
Daddy Never Was the Cadalliac Kind
We were poor when I was a youngun I don't remember ever going hungry Daddy made sure we didn't do without I went to school with some of these fellas They had money and I was jealous I didn't know then what I know now Daddy'd say you can't judge a book by looking at its cover It's what's inside that really matters Daddy never was the Cadillac kind He said some things just glitter and shine He taught us that love was the one thing money couldn't buy Daddy never was the Cadillac kind I left home right out of high school Got me a big car thought I was real cool Cruisin' around the old neighborhood I'd see daddy after church on Sunday I'd say you'll have to go riding with me someday He just said no, I never understood He asked me how I bought it, I told him on credit Daddy just smiled, I'll never forget it Daddy never was the Cadillac kind He said some things just glitter and shine He taught us that love was the one thing money couldn't buy Daddy never was the Cadillac kind It took a while but now I'm grown I've settled down with kids of my own The more I give them The more they want Daddy left us last November I don't remember him ever looking better All laid out in his Sunday best I'm sure instead of all that attention All he'd of wanted was a few words mentioned A simple man simply laid to rest As they drove him away in that big Cadillac With a tear in my eye I had to laugh 'Cause daddy never was the Cadillac kind He said some things just glitter and shine Well just this once, I hope daddy enjoyed the ride 'Cause daddy never was the Cadillac kind No my daddy never was the Cadillac kind |
