[Verse 1] Went to Joe's to have a drink Find a little place to think about [?] colored green When I saw a girl I'd never seen She looked like a cover of a magazine Like Vogue or Women's Health And I could tell that she was educated Reading a book about one hundred pages or more, showing off So I opened up with a cool icebreaker Let's go to the back of my Studebaker, but no She blew me off [Verse 2] Didn't seem to be impressed It couldn't be the way I'm dressed, tight jeans, no shoes She had eyes like big old diamonds She had eyes that were made for climbing up and up and up Come on baby I ain't whistlin' dixie If I left I think you'd know you'd miss me, don't Act like you wouldn't Now, I ain't saying that you won't regret it
But after a couple of drinks I think you might forget or Maybe you couldn't [Chorus] I may not be an artist of a work of art But I know you need some loving and my car is parked Back at home with the gas light on And the damn thing just won't start [Verse 3] Went to Joe's to have a drink Find a little place to think about [?] colored green When I saw a girl I'd never seen She looked like a cover of a magazine Like Vogue or Women's Health And I could tell that she was educated Reading a book about one hundred pages or more, showing off So I opened up with a cool icebreaker Let's go to the back of my Studebaker, but no She blew me off [Chorus]x2
