Highway rides a mile wide from Tennessee down 65
pushing cars past highway laws that turn on dusty lanes
wondered down to Mississippi
loitered with your sister Missi
met her at The Boot around the field, now on the run
hold it down, hold it down now
Sycophants in pleated pants driving tiny cars out of bourbon bars
their swinging wives are sending signs etched out on bathroom stalls
little girls in little plaid are licking lips and tilting back
you’re fine but please mind your manners now
Hold it down, hold it down now
Banquet halls in Baton Rouge
where diamonds shine like white balloons
debutantes endless rants are bleeding from my ‘lobes
Cadillacs in tow, southern drawls move slow
tugging at the boots worn on the feet of northern souls
Hold it down, hold it down now
