Lyrics

[00:00.54] Artist:drive-by truckers
[00:02.66] Songs Title:zip city
[00:05.72]
[00:33.76] Your Daddy was mad as hell
[00:35.76]
[00:36.51] He was mad at me and you
[00:38.57] As he tied that chain to the front of my car and pulled me out of that ditch that we slid into
[00:43.88]
[00:44.87] Don't know what his problem is
[00:46.62]
[00:47.24] Why he keeps dragging you away
[00:49.74] Don't know why I put up with this shit
[00:52.55] When you don't put out and Zip City's so far away
[00:55.29]
[01:24.37] Your Daddy is a deacon down at the Salem Church of Christ
[01:28.24]
[01:29.05] And He makes good money as long as Reynolds Wrap keeps everything wrapped up tight
[01:34.10]
[01:35.60] Your Mama's as good a wife and Mama as she can be
[01:39.22]
[01:40.34] And your Sister's puttin' that sweet stuff on everybody in town but me
[01:44.90]
[01:46.89] Your Brother was the first-born, got ten fingers and ten toes
[01:50.26]
[01:51.45] And it's a damn good thing cause He needs all twenty to keep the closet door closed
[01:56.63]
[02:29.14] Maybe it's the twenty-six mile drive from Zip City to Colbert Heights
[02:33.89]
[02:35.26] Keeps my mind clean
[02:36.44]
[02:37.63] Gets me through the night
[02:39.19]
[02:40.31] Maybe you're just a destination, a place for me to go
[02:45.18] A way to keep from having to deal with my seventeen-year-old mind all alone
[02:50.67]
[02:51.67] Keep your drawers on, girl, it ain't worth the fight
[02:54.97]
[02:56.10] By the time you drop them I'll be gone
[02:58.72] And you'll be right where they fall the rest of your life
[03:02.27]
[03:23.99] You say you're tired of me taking you for granted
[03:26.92]
[03:28.29] Waiting' up till the last minute to call you up and see what you want to do
[03:33.85]
[03:35.10] Well you're only fifteen, girl, you ain't got no secretary
[03:38.97]
[03:40.47] And "for granted" is a mighty big word for a country girl like you
[03:45.21]
[03:45.83] You know it's just your Daddy talking
[03:47.64]
[03:48.89] Cause He knows that blood red carpet at the Salem Church of Christ
[03:53.63]
[03:54.44] Ain't gonna ever see no wedding between me and you
[03:58.75]
[04:42.80] Zip City it's a good thing that they built a wall around you
[04:47.73]
[04:48.48] Zip up to Tennessee then zip back down to Alabama
[04:52.91]
[04:54.29] I got 350 heads on a 305 engine
[04:58.84]
[04:59.59] I get ten miles to the gallon
[05:01.96]
[05:02.52] I ain't got no good intentions
