Uncle Hickory's General Store

South Sixty Five

Ragtop plymouth Alabama plates



Friday night no one's got a date



Spinnin' on the curves temptin' fate



Wishin' we were twenty one



I look at Billy he looks at me



And we burn rubber down route fourteen



And pull in beneath the sign that reads




Catfish beer and bait



Gatorade and moonpies



Next gas twenty five miles



Sittin' at the counter



Me and Billy Jones



Haggard on the Philco dial



Watchin' Caroline



Don'tcha know she looks fine



Stirrin' up the chili pot



The world waited at the door



Of Uncle Hickory's General Store




Now, Billy winks at Caroline



Says I like my women on the older side



She leans real close and says "Honey Child"



Come on back in a year or two



And then her boyfriend comes



And he looks real mean



And we swagger out in our best James Dean



And in the rear view we can see




Catfish, beer and bait



Gatorade and moonpies



Next gas twenty-five miles



Sittin' at the counter



Me and Billy Jones



Haggard on the Philco dial



Watchin' Caroline



Don'tcha know she looks fine



Stirrin' up the chili pot



The world waited at the door



Of Uncle Hickory's General Store






Every year about Christmas time



I get a card from Billy and Caroline



And it takes me back in time to...






Catfish, beer and bait



Gatorade and moonpies



Next gas twenty-five miles



Sittin' at the counter



Me and Billy Jones



Haggard on the Philco dial



Watchin' Caroline



Don'tcha know she looks fine



Stirri
