DWell I'm all gassed up
The car is Cwaitin' outside
I got Gthree more hours on this loser's job
And then I'll Dbe ready to Aride

This guy's name is CJeffrey Jack
He can shoot the Geyes out of a pool ball
He can get those Dyoung girls into the Asack
We'll drop Ddown to the dance hall
Locals will be Ckickin' up their heels
They'll be Gdrinkin' tequila sunrises
Until the Dmorning light fills up the Awindow sills
[chorus 1]
And then I'll Gbe       Awith Sugar MaDrie
She's the Gonly girl I Aknow that can make me forDget about me
Come on and dance with Gme       ASugar MaDrie

And sometimes I need Dsome good ole comApany
