lyrics

Well it’s nine o’clock and the sun is going down
I’m driving eastbound on the outskirts of town
I’m going to a place where I can be myself and the
girls all know my name
And they’ll laugh at my jokes, listen to my stories and tell me they’re so glad I came

I’m going down to the whorehouse
It’s Saturday night
I’m going down to the whorehouse
Where the women always make me feel alright

Maybe I’ll get with Betsy, or her friend Emmy Lou
Maybe I’ll get with Veronika, I love her high heel shoes
Maybe I’ll just roll the dice and try something new
Maybe I’ll get me the madam of the house who always knows just what to do

Some people might judge me for the things I do off the highway road after night falls on the outskirts of town
Well they can judge me all they want, I could care less when door shuts and Emmy Lou takes off her gown

I don’t want to get me one of those diseases
I don’t want to catch some syphilis
So before I left my home I made damn sure to pack
I’ve got a box full of latex by my side, I want love not the jack
