Just an ‘ol boy from Quannah,
I used to cross the line and go into Oklahoma.
Go to a double wide topless bar,
Lay my Lincoln’s out on a plywood dance floor.
‘Til my wife called, said she had some news,
Asked me to come home in a day or two.
Oh yea, and I’ll tell you what, I did.
(Chorus)
Now I got kids, yea I’m a dad.
All of those habits I had, had to go.
May sound strange,
I just changed directions in the middle of the road.
But that’s exactly what I did. Now I’ve got kids.
Just sitting over at whats his name’s,
Staring at his wife, hoping the cops don’t drive by.
I hope no one sees me here. It’s a small town,
A few people, with great big ears.
That’s the way it used to be.
I didn't need 12 steps, or a number off the TV.
Uh-uh, son, I’ll tell you what I did.
(Chorus)
Now I got kids, yea I’m a dad.
All of those habits I had, had to go.
May sound strange, I just changed directions in the middle of the road.
But that’s exactly what I did. Now I’ve got kids.
I take the little ones out, to the medicine mound.
We jump out of the car and do a River dance, like no ones around,
Me and my, kids.
Just and ‘ol boy from Quannah,
I used to cross the line and go into Oklahoma.
