Sucker For A Good Time

Well, I guess I overdid it, why can't I learn to quit it?

There must be something bred in my bones

I heard them story 'bout my grandpappy

Gettin' down and rollin' 'til dawn

Way down in Alabama, just south of Tallahassee

The fellas hate to hear my name

'Cause all they pretty girlfriends

Shine 'em Lord and leave me to blame

Well, it's a mean scene, man

You never seen nothin' like it

And I ain't the kind to stretch out the truth

Every time I head south, son

I always come back loose in the tooth

Day's work won't pay the first down

Might as well set a hook-line

Y'all, it ain't my fault

I'm just a sucker for a good time

She was dressed in Dolce Vita

Alone sipping tequila

Breathtakingly gorgeous in pearl

Well, you'd a thought a temptress

Was soon to be my company girl

Well, the band was slowly swinging

When Jessica came to me

Asked, "When you think you're gonna save me a dance?"

In a rattle sense pan well

She whispered "Honey, here's your last chance"

She was a left cad, man

I never had nothin' like her

And I ain't the kind to stretch out a lie

While she was gettin' evil

I was gettin' close to goodbye

Day's work won't pay the first down

Might as well set a hook-line

Y'all, it ain't my fault

I'm just a sucker for a good time

I was on the way out the back when somethin' caught me

Like a stack of cinder blocks 'cross the jaw

Overhead was a jealous Fred, corn-fed and ready to brawl

Well, I finally found my feet after turning the other cheek

Said, "Mr., take it if you want, 'cause I'm loaded"

But just know I didn't know

She had a self a show enough on and on

Day's work won't pay the first down

Might as well set a hook-line

Y'all, it ain't my fault

I'm just a sucker for a good time
