“…Parker’s makin’ more money than he did at the mill
Since he got himself a girl with a script for pills
My my, he’s got the goods tonight
Mama always said he was a no-good kid
Now she calls him up when she needs her fix
My my, she’s waitin’ on him to stop by
Fake nails flickin on an ashtray
Keepin’ 3/4 time
Nowhere to be, now it’s payday
So she’s gonna get real high
It’s a small town Saturday night
Another small town Saturday night…”
