West Oakland It doesn't seem right as good as I've been to you Two weeks since arrival and I'm already into you What they called wrong didn't feel like a sin to you He's the best guy you've met since you left the upper peninsula (I've heard it before) Oh, the ladies love him, and always have He bought the ring but the town did the sizing So you left in the night without the chuch realizing (that you were gone) My spirits are falling but my blood is rising Foglights on the freeway and AT-ATs on the horizon (I've heard it before) Oh, the ladies love him, and always have And the elders of your town Showed you out and shamed your name And I will do the same How I've clenched and suffered After all I've proferred After I'll offerred It's an interstate straight shot of truck stop bathroom stalls I don't need you, I don't need this town at all (and it doesn't need me) I'm on my way, I'll be home by nightfall Good luck spending your life waiting for him to call (He's heard it before) Oh, the ladies love him, and always have (It doesn't always work out well for everyone)
