Pearl Snaps Songtext
von Jason Boland & The Stragglers

Cheap bourbon whiskey, and pearl snap shirts
Are the two things that stay the same
So when the world starts spinnin′, and your whole head hurts
There's a cheap bourbon whiskey, and pearl snap shirts

Yeah, the shade tree mechanic is a dinosaur
You can′t cuss, you can't smoke, or spit on the floor
And don't hit on a woman ′cause she might sue
You can′t buy beer in this state, past two

But that cheap bourbon whiskey, and pearl snap shirts
Are the two things that stay the same
So when the world starts spinnin', and your whole head hurts
There′s a cheap bourbon whiskey, and pearl snap shirts

Well now, Buddha is legal, but Jesus ain't
The saints are all sinners, and the sinners are saints
It′s not how you play, it's the final score
They don′t show Mash on the tube anymore


But that cheap bourbon whiskey, and pearl snap shirts
Are the two things that stay the same
So when the world starts spinnin', and your whole head hurts
There's a cheap bourbon whiskey, and pearl snap shirts

And now lovers usually leave at the drop of a ring
And daddy doesn′t smile when a mockingbird sings
The kids are in school, but they′re all packin' guns
The losers live forever, and the good die young

But that cheap bourbon whiskey, and pearl snap shirts
Are the two things that stay the same
So when the world starts spinnin′, and your whole head hurts
There's a cheap bourbon whiskey, and pearl snap shirts

Now the stars are all fallin′ out of the sky
The doors are all locked, and the bottle is dry
So pass me a chew, and I'll sing you a song
If there′s a problem with that, we can get it on

'Cause that cheap bourbon whiskey, and pearl snap shirts
Are the two things that stay the same
So when the world starts spinnin', and your whole head hurts
There′s a cheap bourbon whiskey, and pearl snap shirts
Cheap bourbon whiskey, and pearl snap shirts
