[Spoken Intro: "Memaw" Barbara Musgraves]
We had a girl that came in with a drug overdose the other day.
And she got real belligerent. And she bit one of the nurses.
(Oh man). And, I mean, she bit (Ohhh)—you could see every tooth
(Nooo! Hehe). It took two or three of us to get her off of her.
It's a crazy Wednesday
[Verse 1]
We Dfinally got a flashing light
They Dput it in last year
And Deverybody got real happy
When the Dgrocery store got beer
And last Gtime the census men came a-knockin'
We were Gbusting at the seams
[Refrain]
N.C.
Aww, but don't you forget it, as big as we're getting
N.C.                        G  
This town's too small to be mean
