Lyrics
I found a number; It was written on that Raleigh rest room wall.
It took fourteen beers and half an hour to get the nerve to call
And she said, “Well, come on over”.
I said, “Well, just tell me how”.
She says, “How soon can you get here?”
I said, “How about right now?”

Chorus
So check the water, check the oil, put in three bucks worth of gas
Throw these beer cans in the trash can, scrape then skeeters off the glass
If you got a map of Texas, son, I’d sure be much obliged
‘Cause I got a date in Dallas at a quarter after five.

I stopped for coffee in Kentucky, I took a pill in Tennessee
And that thing I hit near Shreveport was a person or a tree
And you all might think I’m crazy but there’s one thing you can bet
There’s no girl half as pretty as the girl that you ain’t met!

Chorus

I got the window rolled down all the way to keep me wide awake
I got Dolly Parton singin’ like her heart’s about to break
Yeah, and some day when we’re older I’ll look at my kids and say
“Kids, you know I net your momma in a most peculiar way”.

Chorus
