Lyrics Turnpike Troubadours

Turnpike Troubadours

The Mercury

Lorrie laughs like she just don't care

Got a red bandana and raven hair

Sitting in the corner at The Mercury

Cowboy killers in a plain white tee

And back before the glasses and the sleeve tattoos

She's just another small town kid

Sure she's gotta couple problems now

But she doesn't try to keep 'em hid

Her kind of loving is a little like a fist fight

Alright, alright

The kind of thing you never see before midnight

Girl, I know you're gonna wreck this town

Won't tell me where to be when the walls start falling

Well I've never seen Jimmy in that old Corvette

He looks like hell but he ain't dead yet

Rough around the edges but his clothes are clean

Hayseed dressed up like James Dean

And any way I play it well I can't get him to say it

But I think that him and Lorrie were a thing

Well come now that I think about it

He don't say much of anything

Her kind of loving is a little like a fist fight

Alright, alright

The kind of thing you never see before midnight

Girl, I know you're gonna wreck this town

Won't tell me where to be when the walls start falling

Well, it's 1 AM and wild and loud

Like sittin' in the middle of a funnel cloud

A five-spot for a shot and a beer

Now do you wonder how we wound up here

I tell you friend that every now and then

It's like a money game of cut throat pool

Lorrie's talking just a little too sweet to me

Jimmy's in the next bar stool

Her kind of loving is a little like a fist fight

Alright, alright

The kind of thing you never see before midnight

Well it's throwback punks and daytime drunks

And PBR's and stouts

Lorrie's over by the jukebox now

Dancing to the "Twist and Shout"

And Jimmy's storming out the front door

Lord you'd think someone had died

I ain't going anywhere at all

Now I'm about to hit my stride

Her kind of loving is a little like a fist fight

Alright, alright

The kind of thing you never see before midnight

Girl I know you're gonna wreck this town

Won't you tell me where to be when the walls start falling

Girl I know you're gonna wreck this town

Won't you tell me where to be when the walls start falling

Girl I know you're gonna wreck this town

Won't you tell me where to be when the walls start falling

Girl I know you're gonna wreck this town

Won't you tell me where to be when the walls start falling down
