Bossier City - Turnpike Troubadours

Well Robbie’s got a brand new girlfriend

She’s got a script for pills

These here man they’re the good ones

Counting those ten dollar bills

What Mama don’t know won’t hurt her

That’s what he’d always say

He’s going down to Bossier City

He’s gonna drink his cares away

Robbie’s got a thousand dollars

That’s more than the saw mills paying

Lucy she’s at her mamas

But he’ll lose it all today

He’s got a thousand dollars

That’s just some gasoline

You know that boy well he can gamble

Like you ain’t never seen

What Mama don’t know won’t hurt her

That’s what he’d always say

He’s going down to Bossier City

He’s gonna drink his cares away

He’s pulling down on that lever

Like he’s got cash to burn

Barely too proud to beg

I guess that boy will never learn

He’s driving back home on Sunday

Praying he don’t get killed

You know that Lucy’s kinda crazy

When she ain’t got her pills

What Mama don’t know won’t hurt her

That’s what he’d always say

He’s going down to Bossier City

He’s gonna drink his cares away

What Mama don’t know won’t hurt her

That’s what he’d always say

He’s going down to Bossier City

He’s gonna drink his cares away

What Mama don’t know won’t hurt her

That’s what he’d always say

He’s going down to Bossier City

He’s gonna drink his cares away
