double-U double-U, bright blue glow

Out in the parking lot with a radio 
                                     A 
A juke joint jumpin’ like a bubblin’ tar

Sneaky sneaky sneaky, steel guitars

Like to cut up a rug every once in awhile 
                                A 
Never gets lonesome, never gets tired

I think she’s in love with a Steel guitar
