Lyrics Out In The Parking Lot - Guy Clark

This is another new song I wrote with Darryl Scott

This is way I've kinda been referring to it lately
It's kinda, it's kinda the antithesis of the "Boot-Scootin' Boggie"
Feasibly right up my alley
It's called "Out in the Parking Lot"

I was sittin' on the fender of someone else's truck
Drinking Old Crow whisky, hot 7-up
Out in the parking lot

Well, you can hear the band a playin' right through the wall
Ain't no cover charge, there ain't no last call
Out in the parking lot

Now there's a couple of cowpokes puttin' up their dukes
Wasn't much to it after both of them puked
Out in the parking lot

Now someone called the police, and the police finally came
And they wrote 'em a couple of tickets, and they took a couple of names
Out in the parking lot

Well, I love to see the neon dancin' on the gravel
I love to hear the pickup trucks come unraveled
And some have given up, some have given in
Looks like everybody's looking for a friend
Out in the parking lot

Oops, there's a couple who could not wait to get home
They're probably in love, so let's leave them alone
Out in the parking lot

Now, the band is on the bus, they're all loaded up to leave
The drummer's got a girlfriend, and she's tuggin' at his sleeve
Out in the parking lot

Well, I love to see the neon dancin' on the gravel
I love to hear the pickup trucks come unraveled
Some have given up, some have given in
Looks like everybody's looking for a friend
Out in the parking lot

Now, everybody's gone, they've shut out all the lights
The dust begins to settle, and it's never been so quiet
Out in the parking lot
