Bobby wished he was from the past He said those cars they used to drive were the best And I know that I'm a simple man Even my dreams I deserve to have Annabel had plans of her own She says "there's no way in hell I'm going home" 'Cause Mamma says she always knows best Well, God love her, her life is a mess I won't change my mind Keep your hand on my thigh tonight When we get up north We'll buy us a store I won't fight in an oil man's war Bobby bought a brand new suit From his neighbor bought round toe shoes Stuffed the money down in his socks On his way he bought a wrist corsage But Annie was scared to death She'd never once in her life laid with a man And she knew it was his only chance She bought a white dress second hand I won't change my mind Keep your hand on my thigh tonight When we get up north We'll buy us a store I won't fight in an oil man's war And you can't say it's just a matter of pride I've been living here since I was a child Now I'm just a simple man Even my dreams I deserve to have I won't change my mind Keep your hand on my thigh tonight When we get up north We'll buy us a store Live upstairs after the kids are born And I'm not gonna die So keep your hand on my thigh tonight 'Cause when we get up north we'll buy us a store I won't fight in an oil man's war I won't fight in an oil man's war
