Go-Go Boots

Lyrics

He packed a big-ass church out near Rogersville
 He drove the Cadillac, she drove the Oldsmobile
 Friday he shackened up with the mistress
 Doing things that he'd never do with the Mrs
 Who was back at home cooking dinner for him
 ♪
 They had a son, who never had the calling
 He went all over town, drinking and a-balling
 Got some girl pregnant, when he was still a teen
 Working at McDonald's and pumping gasoline
 Driving that Camaro fast with all his friends
 ♪
 Daddy's been preaching the word since he was 12
 All about the merciful Savior and the fires of hell
 I know he meant it, but what's a little straying
 He got everybody singing and a-praying
 The devil better not come back down here again
 ♪
 Missy wore them go-go boots, it did something for him
 Made him think his wife back home was homely and boring
 He met these guys who didn't mind getting dirty
 He was a pillar and his alibi was sturdy
 It only took a little bit of cash and the deed was done
 Stained-glass windows, Jesus looking down
 Organs playing music to the middle-aged crowd
 His wife's in the ground, the devil's in his head
 Them go-go boots are underneath the bed
 And it's a small town and the word gets around
 ♪
 Gossip is a-flying and his son starts to thinking
 He sees daddy's new wife driving 'round in a Lincoln
 There's a lot he'd like to ask if he could get the chance
 But he's scared he might kill your old man
 He wonders what the Lord will say when he weighs it all out
 And it's a small town, go-go boots
