(Buddy and Julie Miller) Start up the engine and get back home Hurry go tell mother Johnny got a gun to shoot a squirrel And he put down your brother Daddy ain't no where to be found And it's getting way past midnight Mama she's left here to cry alone While I steal a kiss in the moonlight This place is slow and I just wanna go find myself in an all night town It's more than I deserve I know but baby don't let me down Ddt done poisoned me better than the bugs in the cotton Now I gotta have another drink to kill all the pains I've gotten All the crops have gone to seed The maize is turning to clover Silo's empty gin's closed down But some things you never get over
