Out In The Parkin' Lot — Guy Clark

I was sittin' on the fender of someone else's truck Drinking Old Crow whisky, hot 7-up Out in the parking lot

You can hear the band a playin right through the wall Ain't no cover charge, there ain't no last call Out in the parking lot

Now there's a couple of cowpokes puttin' up there dukes Wasn't much to it after both of ?em puked Out in the parking lot

Now someone called the police and the police finally came And they wrote ?em a couple of tickets and they took a couple of names Out in the parking lot

Chorus

I love to see the neon dancin' on the gravel I love to hear the pickup trucks come unraveled And some have given up, some have given in Looks like everybody's looking for a friend Out in the parking lot

Oops there's a couple who could not wait to get home They're probably in love so let's leave them alone Out in the parking lot

The band is on the bus, they're all loaded up to leave But the drummer's got a girlfriend and she's tuggin at his sleeve Out in the parking lot

Chorus

Everybody's gone, they've shut out all the lights The dust begins to settle and it's never been so quiet Out in the parking lot
