A long time ago
In a land far away
There was a life
That doesn't even seem like it was mine
Oh sure; it was
I was there baby
Like a day long strip club marathon
Speaking of which:
There I was looking for something
Both of us actually
Plus the two guys in the back
So really all four of us
Cruising the streets of Memphis, Tennessee
At nine o'clock in the morning on a Saturday
Everyone back at the airport had been talking up the town
Saying how it was so worth the one hour trip South
The food
The booze
The sights
The gambling
The strip clubs
When they had been talking about it all back at the hotel
I had just eaten
I was already drunk
I'd seen it all
I didn't gamble
But strip clubs?
That was worth a look I thought
So early on this Saturday morning
I'd gathered up the few guys I could rouse
And we rolled out of Blytheville, Arkansas
Headed South down Highway 55
Chasing dollar beers
No cover charge
Five dollar tips
And twenty dollar lap dances
In a land far away
There was a life
That doesn't even seem like it was mine
Oh sure; it was
I was there baby
Like a day long strip club marathon
