Justin Haigh - Monahans lyrics

At the Dairy Queen one summer In a far West Texas town The girl was all of 16 She was woman pound for pound Slippin' dollars in the juke box Playing ZZ Top and Merle Sippin' Lemon Dr. Peppers My sweat West Texas girl We'd step out into the desert sun And curse where we came from Then we'd ride to Rio Grande and try our hands at love The more I think about it The less I understand Grab a hold of something good and it'll slip right through your hands Will you catch me if I fall Will you sit and watch me crawl Through fire and burning sand All the way to Monahans Them rich boys from the west side Drive their brand new shiny cars I can't blame them sons of b**hes They were raised to make life hard On us sons of honest working men The ones who grease the wheels She hitched a ride to the cheating side On brokered sweat-heart deal I saw her cruising down at the cross roads She was laughing as she waved I went down to the Rio Grande with a six pack and my twelve gauge (Chorus) It's the same old thing at the Dairy Queen In a small West Texas town There's a girl all of eighteen You can tell she'd been around She was huggin' on her boyfriend She was giving me the eye She slipped past my table Said honey I can make you smile Her boyfriend pulled a knife on me Said don't go messing with my girl I said, mind your own business son I'm listening to Merle The less I think about it The more I understand Grab a hold of something good And it will slip right through your hands Who will catch me if I fall Who will sit and watch me crawl Through fire and a burning sand All the way to Monahans Throw your heart in to a black sedan And drive it all the way to Monahans On to Midland...Big Spring...Abilene...Weatherford...Fort Worth
