Intro To Putnam County

Putnam County

Unknown

I guess things were always kinda quiet around Putnam County

Kinda shy and sleepy as it clung to the skirts of the two-lane

That was stretched out just like an asphalt dance floor

Where all the old timers in bib jeans and store-bought boots

Were hunkering down in the dirt to lie about

Their lives and the places that they'd been

And they'd suck on Coca-Colas and be spitting day's work

Until the moon was a stray dog on the ridge

And the taverns would be swollen until the naked eye of two a.m

And the Stratocasters slung over the Burgermeister beer guts

And swizzle stick legs jackknifed over Naugahyde stools

And the witch hazel spread out over the linoleum floors

And pedal pushers stretched out over midriff bulges

And the coiffed brunette curls over Maybelline eyes

As Bubba and the Roadmasters moaned in pool hall concentration

And knit their brows to cover the entire Hank Williams songbook

And the old National Register was singing to the

Tune of fifty-seven dollars and fifty-seven cents

And then it's last call and one more game of eight ball

Bernice will be puttin' the chairs on the tables

And someone come in and say, "Hey man, anybody got any jumper cables?"

And all the studs in town would toss 'em down

And claim to fame as they stomped their feet

Boasting about being able to get more ass than a toilet seat

And the GMCs and the straight-eight Fords were coughing and wheezing

And they percolated as they tossed the gravel underneath the fenders

To weave home a wet-slick anaconda of a two-lane

And tire irons and a crowbar's a-rattling

You're grinding gears and you're shifting into first

Yeah, and that goddamn tranny's just getting worse, man

With a melody of see you laters and screwdrivers on carburetors

With money to borrow and goodnight kisses

And he sure can sing, that son of a bitch

It's home to toast and honey, gotta start up a Ford

And your lunch money's right over there on the draining board

And the toilet's running, Christ, shake the handle

And the telephone's ringing, it's Mrs. Randall

And where the hell are my goddamn sandals?

What do you mean the dog chewed up my left foot?

With the porcelain poodles and the glass swans

And the parent permission slips for the kids' field trips

And a pair of Muck-A-Lucks scraping across the shag carpet

And it lurked behind a weeping marquee in downtown Putnam

Just like a bastard amber Velveeta yellow cab

And be blowing its horn in every window in town
