Drinking at the canteen
Two stepping in between
Tunes from a Christine
Vocals from a Geraldine<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whirling in my cowboy boots
Twirling past the crapshoots
A pair of blondes, oh very cute
Both work as prostitutes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I love this life
I love this air
Perhaps I\u2019ll start
A love affair<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just now, I saw her there
Up Town
Up Grade
Underdressed and Overplayed<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Time to care
Time to dare
Asked her name
She replied, \u201cEmma Clair\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She could dance
She could swing
Do-si-do
And even swing<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Miss Blair might bump
Miss Blair might grind
Whiskey shots for courage
Set up on her behind<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The band played standards
Honoring Hank Williams and Dolly P
Emma eyes were locked on mine
Emma eyes were emerald green<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By nine, she was mine
By ten, I was hers
By midnight, I was drunk
By closing time, I was blurred<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe it was the Jack speaking
Maybe I heard Jim Beam instead
When the local Parson asked for my \u201cI Do\u201d
That\u2019s when I got newly wed<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So two years and two girls
Tons of diapers, tons of curls
They\u2019re my Queens
I\u2019m their Earl<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I still crave Emma\u2019s shots
I still covet Emma\u2019s hots
She\u2019s built like an Autobot
And as easy as a chip shot<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The band honors Loretta Lynn
The dance floor is getting thin
But we make this bar our own sin
And that\u2019s how I see it<\/p>\n\n\n\n
