| | | Letra: | I stepped off the bus in memphis, stumbled into the first saloon i could find
i bellied up to the
rail and i summoned my barkeep, ordered up tequila, some salt, and a lime
she said, "son, you
ain't from around here, is you?"
and i said politely, "no, no, maam, i ain't"
she said,
"son, well, let me give you a little bit of friendly southern advice
we don't use that junk round
here for nothin' cept well, maybe, thinnin' out paint."
and she said, "son, why don't you just
take a look around and tell me what you see."
i saw a lot of white felt stetson hats and gator
skin boots and every southern man who had a lady on his arm was drinking whiskey
so i said, "i do
not wish to be out of order here, i am not a tramp or a bum
the dusty mexican border lands are
where i've just come from
so, with all due respect and deference, tequila is my preference."
She said, "relax honey, you know i would never treat you wrong," and then she poured me up three
fingers of that old number 7
she said, "rest assured, darling, we're drinking it down here in
dixie
that's cause that's what they're pouring up in heaven."
and i said, "maam, your
hospitality is well intention
yes, i know you mean to treat me well but where i come from, born
and raised in arizona, don't you know, me and my friends would be more likely drinking what they
serve down in hell."
and she said, "son, why don't you take a look around and tell me what you
see."
well, i saw a lot of furled brows under them white felt stetson hats and every southern
man who had a lady on his arm was looking kind of angry
so i said, " i do not wish to be out of
order, gents, i am not a tramp or a bum
the dusty mexican border land is where i've just come
from
so with all due respect and deference, tequila is my preference."
So she said, "hey look
you little pool cat, you better knock that whiskey back before us southern folk get angry
we'll
come and skin you to the bone and i ain't exactly sure how that old saying goes but i do know it
underscores the fact that you best be drinkin' what the romans drink when you're drinkin' down in
rome!!"
And i said, " maam, i can see that you just do not understand and i have been trying to
get a proper drink out of this bar now, the whole damn night
so, kindly set me up that tequila,
honey
let me get it in my blood and i will take you and your whiskey sippin southern boys; up on
that there fight!!"
And she said, "son, why don't you just take yourself a look around and tell
me what you see."
i saw a lot of grinding teeth and i saw a lot of clenching fists and every
southern man who was once over there; sitting at the bar was up and coming after me
so i said, "i
do not wish to be out of order gentlemen
i am not a tramp or a bum
the dusty mexican border
land is where i've just come from so with all due respect and deference.....gentlemen, kindly do not
throw me out ass backwards for hankering for a less civilized spirit
why don't i just mosey on
along and find my tequila on my way back west?". | | | |
