Me and Ol' Tommy

Me and ol' Tommy wore cowboy hats, had silver six shooters with a long roll of caps
Bart's robbed the bank and gone to ground
Me and Tommy are playing marshals and this yard is our town

So we saddle them ponies and ride past the fields
Gather a posse, keep to the hills
Round up them outlaws in a blast of gun powder
Tommy's got my back, Bart he's a goner
We head back home in a blaze of glory
Me and old Tommy

Me and ol' Tommy in a hot red Chevelle, that 396 had a growl straight from hell
We'd drive real slow by the old town green
Looking for ladies, we're just seventeen

So we'd rev up them horses and crank up the tunes
Roll down the windows and try to look cool
I'd talk too the girls just don't know what to say
Tommy's on my wing and he's starting to pray
I'm going down in a blaze of glory,
Tonight's just me and old Tommy


The army sent us to fight, I just remember the flash
I held Tommy

So I saddled my horse and tried to move on
Met a girl from Kentucky and we bought a farm
Couple years later we had a child
All red hair and freckles and his mother's eyes
Tonight I'll tell Tommy a bed time story,
Bout the adventures of me and old Tommy
