[Intro]
A
[Verse]
In a Acold church basement one ENovember Friday night
Come aDlong, come aAlong
In a Atwelve step meeting under Eharsh florescent light
Now that's Dbright, hey come onA  
[Verse]
I know AI deserve to be there, but I Edon't remember why
I was Dlooking for salvation, but Anothing caught my eye
My Aturn to tell my story and I guess Eit's worth a try
Come aDlong, come aAlong,
Come aElong, come aAlong
[Chorus]
Come a Eki-yi bossie, come a Abossie come along,
Come a Bki-yi bossie come aElong
Come a Eki-yi bossie, come a Abossie come along,
Come aElong, come aAlong
Come aElong, come aAlong
A
[Verse]
Well I Aguess she had other interests, she had someEthing else to do
You okayD? Well, me tooA  
So tell me Awatcha gonna, whatcha gonna, Ewatcha gonna do?
Well okaDy, boohooA  
[Verse]
So Anow the happy hour is Eraining on my shoes
And Dit's not all that important which Apoison that you choose
When you're Atuning up to sing the rum and Ecoke and whiskey blues
And that melodDy comes throughA  
And now you're Epaying your duesA  
[Chorus]
Come a Eki-yi bossie, come a Abossie come along,
Come a Bki-yi bossie come alEong
Come a Eki-yi bossie, come a Abossie come along,
Come aElong, come aAlong
Come aElong, come aAlong
A
[Verse]
Back Abefore I drove a pickup and I took up Ebuckin' bails
Come aDlong, come aAlong
I was looking Ahigh and low for meaning, I was Einto saving whales
BeDfore they're all goneA  
[Verse]
But the Aweeds grow high and that's where it Eall begins
When I Dstop to wonder why that was Afertile ground for sin
Just Apour some whiskey on it and Ewatch the fun begin
Come aDlong, come aAlong
What could Epossibly go wrong?A  
A
[Verse]
Here, Apour a little whiskey on that Efertile patch of soil
Come aDlong, come aAlong
Sprinkle Ain a little heartache, watch the Eground begin to boil
Now it's Dcoming on strongA  
[Verse]
As it Astarts to take its shape there ain't Enothing there to like
You Dbest have quick reactions, it'll Arattle coil and strike
ATime to change the scenery, it's time to Ehit the pike
And okDay, I'm goneA  
[Bridge]
They say Aeach of us has meaning, time to Ebring that all to light,
Well alrDight, right onA  
Come aElong, come aAlong
[Chorus]
Come a Eki-yi bossie, come a Abossie come along,
Come a Bki-yi bossie come alEong
Come a Eki-yi bossie, come a Abossie come along,
Come aElong, come aAlong
Come aElong, come aAlong
[Chorus]
Come a Eki-yi bossie, come a Abossie come along,
Come a Bki-yi bossie come alEong
Come a Eki-yi bossie, come a Abossie come along,
Come aElong, come aAlong
Come aElong, come aAlong
[Outro]
Come aElong, come aAlong
Come aElong, come aAlong,
Come aElong, come aAlong
