THIS IS A SONG ABOUT
BEST FRIENDS
JOHN ROY WAS
A BOY I KNEW
SINCE HE WAS THREE
AND I WAS TWO
GREW UP TWO
LITTLE HOUSES
DOWN FROM ME
THE ONLY TWO
BAD APPLES ON OUR
FAMILY TREE
KINDA' RIPENED
AND ROTTED IN
OUR PUBERTY
TWO KINDRED SPIRITS
BOUND BY DESTINY
WELL NOW I
WAS SMART BUT I
LACKED AMBITION
JOHNNY WAS WILD
WITH NO INHIBITION
WAS ABOUT LIKE MIXING
FIRE AND GASOLINE
AND HE'D SAY
HEY ROMEO LET'S GO
DOWN TO MEXICO
CHASE SENIORITAS DRINK
OURSELVES SILLY
SHOW THEM MEXICAN
GIRLS A COUPLE
REAL HILLBILLIES
GOT A POCKETFUL
OF CASH AND THAT
OLD FORD TRUCK
FUZZY CAT HANGING
FROM THE MIRROR
FOR LUCK
SAID DON'T YOU
KNOW ALL THOSE
LITTLE BROWN
EYED GIRLS
WANT PLAYBOYS OF
THE SOUTHWESTERN
WORLD
LA LA LA LA LA
LA LA LA LA LA LA
LA LA LA LA LA LA
LA LA LA LA LA LA
LA LA LA LA LA LA
LONG AROUND OUR
EIGHTEENTH YEAR
WE FOUND TWO
AIRPLANE TICKETS THE
HELL OUTTA HERE
GOT SCHOLARSHIPS
TO SOME SMALL TOWN
SCHOOL IN TEXAS
WE LEARNED TO
DRINK SANGRIAS 'TIL
THE DAWN'S
EARLY LIGHT
EAT EGGS
RANCHEROS AND
THROW UP ALL NIGHT
AND TELL THOSE
DADDY'S GIRLS WE
WERE MAJORIN' IN
A RODEO
AW BUT MY FAVORITE
MEMORY AT SCHOOL
THAT FALL
WAS THE NIGHT JOHN
ROY CAME RUNNIN'
DOWN THE HALL
WEARIN' NOTHIN'
BUT COWBOY BOOTS
AND A BIG SOMBRERO
AND HE WAS YELLIN'
HEY ROMEO LET'S GO
DOWN TO MEXICO
CHASE SENIORITAS DRINK
OURSELVES SILLY
SHOW THEM MEXICAN
GIRLS A COUPLE
REAL HILLBILLIES
GOT A POCKETFUL
OF CASH AND THAT
OLD FORD TRUCK
FUZZY CAT HANGING
FROM THE MIRROR
FOR LUCK
SAID DON'T YOU
KNOW ALL THOSE
LITTLE BROWN
EYED GIRLS
WANT PLAYBOYS OF
THE SOUTHWESTERN
WORLD
LA LA LA LA LA
LA LA LA LA LA LA
LA LA LA LA LA LA
LA LA LA LA LA LA
LA LA LA LA LA
AND I SAID WE HAD
A LITTLE CHANGE
OF PLANS
LIKE WHEN PAUL
MCCARTNEY GOT
BUSTED IN JAPAN
AND I SAID WE
GOT WAYLAID WHEN
WE SET FOOT ON
MEXICAN SOIL
YOU SEE THE BORDER
GUARD WITH A FU
MANCHU MUSTACHE
KINDA STUMBLED
ON JOHN'S POCKETFUL
OF AMERICAN CASH
HE SAID DOIN' A LITTLE
FUNNY BUSINESS
IN MEXICO AMIGO
BUT ALL I COULD
THINK ABOUT WAS
SAVIN' MY OWN TAIL
WHEN HE MENTIONED
TEN YEARS IN A
MEXICAN JAIL
SO I POINTED AT
JOHN ROY AND SAID
IT'S ALL HIS NOW
PLEASE LET ME GO
I MEAN IT WAS
YOUR IDEA GENIUS
I WAS JUST LAYIN'
THERE IN BED
WHEN YOU SAID
HEY ROMEO LET'S GO
DOWN TO MEXICO
CHASE SENIORITAS DRINK
OURSELVES SILLY
SHOW THEM MEXICAN
GIRLS A COUPLE
REAL HILLBILLIES
GOT A POCKETFUL
OF CASH AND THAT
OLD FORD TRUCK
FUZZY CAT HANGING
FROM THE MIRROR
FOR LUCK
SAID DON'T YOU
KNOW ALL THOSE
LITTLE BROWN
EYED GIRLS
WANT PLAYBOYS
OF THE SOUTH
PLAYBOYS OF THE
SOUTHWESTERN
WORLD
AH WE'RE STILL
BEST FRIENDS
TEMPORARY
CELLMATES
