about

As Big & Rich say: "Charlie Pride was the man in black, rock'n'roll used to be about Johnny Cash". So, here's a rock'n'roll track.

lyrics

Sitting at the truckstop
At 3AM this morning
I ordered up a big old mess o' beans

The waitress took my tip
And she caused my heart to flip
That's when I met the lovely Lurlene

Chorus:
Lurlene
Your tattoos are astounding
Lurlene
You set my heart a-pounding
Lurlene

Every trucker knows
There's no finer little diner
The word is out, the secret is revealed

So I stopped in for to buy
A bucket full of chicken
I fell in love before the fat congealed

Chorus

Solo

Now if you've got a thing
For a plate of buffalo wings
Or coffee that's as strong as gasoline

You should take my good advice
And head for that little old diner
But keep your filthy hands off my Lurlene

Chorus:
Lurlene
Your tattoos are astounding
Lurlene
You set my heart a-pounding
Lurlene
Well I love your cinnamon buns
Lurlene
I'll let you shoot my gun
Lurlene
