Kalamazoo

[Verse 1]

A B C D E F G H

I got a gal, wears her toenails long

Drives a red Barracuda, singin' meat-packer songs

And she ain't from Kalamazoo

[Verse 2]

A B C D E F G H

I got a friend, lived in a Mercedes-Benz

Then a '55 Chrysler where the trunk never ends

And the plates say Kalamazoo

[Verse 3]

He had a steady job and watched what he spent

He'd say, "I don't believe in payin' no goddamn rent

I squirreled away every goddamn cent

To buy my own damn house in Kalamazoo!"

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]

I knew a guy that mangled his hand

And he went from pipe fittin' to a hot dog stand

They say last year he cleared fifty grand

Selling dogs round Kalamazoo

[Verse 5]

She turned to the world with a bastard child

Said, "I just can't handle him, he's too damn wild!"

But the years and the liquor have made him mild

And he lays around Kalamazoo

[Outro]

A B C D E F G H

A B C D E F G H

A B C D E F G H

I got a gal that's named from Kalamazoo
