Lyrics
Who Let Bubba Drive
Burge
Mixing mortar and sand working for a mason
No need to say it?s lunchtime my stomach handles that fine
Four of us we all crammed in Bubba?s single cab and then
There we were indentured to Bubba?s adventure
Now Bubba was a quiet man a stoic giant with hard hands
How could we know his heart was broke the dude he barely spoke
When he passed up the place we ate
Bobby looked at me I looked at Jake
then without a warning sound
Bubba let the hammer down
Chorus:
Cross my heart we?re gonna die
Who let Bubba drive?
We all said Bubba man what gives he pointed a finger straight ahead
Said that?s the man she left me for, he?s driving my old car
So if you can find ?em buckle up and he swapped lanes and he lit her up
He lt her up
When the car caught on and sped on up, he was huggin' lines and pushin curves
Bubba?s truck stayed close behind we all hung on with knuckles white
In a long hard curve by Thompson?s lake
Cotter pin done sealed our fate
Tie rod end came apart there was clinking metal fear and sparks
Front two wheels lost control, the truck it veered straight off the road
I looked up and closed my eyes and said lord I do apologize for certain choices I did make
It was about that time we hit the lake
Chorus:
My wisdom now goes out to men it?s alright to talk to friends
Find out if there hearts are hurting not for gossip not to be nosey
Maybe you can calm ?em down, let ?em vent, talk it out
Maybe then you won?t miss lunch and pile yourself into sane man's truck
And not go swimin with your boots on
Chorus:
