Keeper

Well, Lu lives by the river
 And she got herself a good, good man
 Spend half the year off shore in lower Alabam'
 Her friends said she should leave him and
 Come join them in the west coast sand
 But she knows she's got a keeper and
 They'll never really understand, understand
 
 She put a line in the water when the sun come up
 Starts drinkin' when it's goin' down
 Dancin' all alone to the radio 'til her man come back around
 She might go down to Pensacola
 Maybe lay out on the ol' gulf shore
 But she don't go to bars at home without him anymore
 She don't care about what they say, she don't listen anyway
 ♪
 All the roughneck rounders playin' cards around the TV set
 Waitin' around for something hasn't happened yet
 Jokin' with a dancer she said "I could help you to forget"
 But he knows he's got a keeper
 So he smiles and lights a cigarette
 And tips his hat
 He put his head on the pillow when the sun comes up
 Starts workin' when it's going down
 Meltin' hot steel down in Bienville just waitin' on a turnaround
 He starts thinkin' 'bout Pensacola
 He could be fishin' on the ol' Gulf Shore
 But he don't like to do those things without her anymore
 He don't care about what they say, man he don't listen anyway

 They put their lines in the water when the sun comes up
 Start drinkin' when it's going down
 Dancin' real slow to the radio 'cause her man come back around
 They might go down to Pensacola
 Do a little fishin' on the ol' Gulf Shore
 But they don't like to stay out all night the way they did before
 They don't care about what they say, she never listens anyway
