Beat Up Old Town

about

Written by Ben Ratliff

lyrics

Captain Earl and Uncle Dumbass
Got high on Listerine
Flipped their truck on the putting green
But at least their mouths were clean

In this old beat up town

Reverend Southpaw was a greedy man
With his hand in the collection can
He partied hard for a holy man
But he could really throw 'em down

in this old beat up town

And all these girls don't want none of these boys
With their silly toys
They long for city noise
Because a pretty girl can just drown

In this old beat up town

Some time a long time ago
Some old lonely dude
Found this place
And settled here
Now it's a thousand family feuds
At a snail's pace
Fueled by beer

So, you take the good and you take the bad
Hang out with high school grads
Wearing stripes and plaid
And you grill your ground round brown

In this old beat up town
