Lyrics
KEEPIN' THE RIFF RAFF OUT
IT WAS A BRIGHT SUNNY SUNDAY, FIRST WEEKEND IN MAY
WE WERE CRUSING ON OUR HARLEYS AS WE TURNED DOWN MAIN
THE GIRLS SAID WERE STARVIN' PULL ON OVER LET'S EAT
HEAD TO TOE IN LEATHER AS WE WALKED UP TO THE PLACE
YOU'DE THINK WE BROKE OUT OF PRISON, BY THE LOOK ON THE FACE
OF THAT OVER DRESSED, OVER POMPOUS SNAPPY SNOTTY MATER DEI
HE DIDN'T SAY A WORD, JUST POINTED TO A SIGN....SAID NO ONE GETS IN HERE UNLESS THEY'RE WEARING TIES
KEEPIN' THE RIFF RAFF OUT... GOTTA HAVE STANDARDS OR ALL HELL BREAKS OUT
DON'T NEED WRITING ON THE WALL...TO KNOW WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
KEEPIN' THE RIFF RAFF OUT
WE WERE ALL A LITTLE SHOCKED, THE GIRLS TOOK IT HARD
MY BUDDY BILL SAID I COULD BUY THIS BAR
LET'S GO SOMEWHERE ELSE, THAT MIGHT ACCEPT OUR KIND
WE WERE DRAWING A BLANK UNTIL WE, HEARD THE SOUNDS
OF A KICKIN COUNTRY BAND JAMMING TWO DOORS DOWN
WE WENT IN THERE, JOINED THE PARTY GOIN' ON INSIDE
BARTENDER LAUGHED, AS HE POURED US SOME BEERS....SAID IF YOU'RE GONNA WEAR A TIE, CAN'T COME IN HERE
(REPEAT CHORUS)
TWO MONTHS LATER A STORM BLEW THAT HOITY TOITY PLACE AWAY
I GUESS IT'S TRUE THE LORD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS THAT'S WHY ST. PETER'S AT THE GATE
(REPEAT CHORUS)
