A couple of frat guys from Abilene

drove out all night to see Robert Earl Keen

at the K-PIG Swine and Soire Dance.

They wore baseball caps and khaki pants.

They wanted cigarettes,

so to save a little money

They bummed one off this hippie

That smelled kinda funny.

And next thing they knew they were

both pretty hungry and

A D

pretty thirsty too

They found a store with a sign that said their beer was coldest.

So they sent in Brad 'cause he looked the oldest.

He got a case of beer and a candy bar,

walked over to where all the registers are

laid his fake I.D. on the

counter top.

The clerk looked, and turned to

look back up and stopped.

He said "Son, I ain't gonna call the

cops, but I'm gonna have to keep this card"

A D

the guys both took it pretty hard.

They met another old hippie named Sleepy John,

claimed to be the one from the Robert Earl song.

So they gave him all their cash, he bought them some brews.

Was a beautiful day out in Santa Cruz

They were feelin' so good it

Should of been a crime.

The crowd was cool,

and the band was prime.

They made it back up front to their seats

Just in time to they could sing with all their friends

"the road goes on forever and the
