Bossier City

Turnpike Troubadours

Well Robbie's got a brand new girlfriend.
She's got a script for pills.
These here man they're the good ones.
Counting those ten dollar bills.
What Mama don't know won't hurt her.
That's what he'd always say.
He's going down to Bossier City.
Gonna drink his cares away.
He's got a thousand dollars.
That's more than the saw mills paying.
Lucy she's at her mamas.
But he'll lose it all today
He's got a thousand dollars.
That's just some gasoline.
You know that boy well he can gamble.
Like you ain't never seen.
What Mama don't know won't hurt her.
That's what he'd always say.
He's going down to Bossier City.
Gonna drink his cares away.
He's pulling down on that lever.
Like he's got cash to burn.
Barely too proud to beg.
I guess that boy will never learn.
He's driving back home on sunday.
Praying he don't get killed.
You know that Lucy's kinda crazy.
When she ain't got her pills.
What Mama don't know won't hurt her.
That's what he'd always say.
He's going down to Bossier City.
Gonna drink his cares away.
What Mama don't know won't hurt her.
That's what he'd always say.
He's going down to Bossier City.
Gonna drink his cares away.
What Mama don't know won't hurt her.
That's what he'd always say.
He's going down to Bossier City.
Gonna drink his cares away.
