Oil Patch Town
Friday Night Frenzy in an Oil Patch Town
Lyrics
Got six bucks that's enough for a beer run
Expressing having a small amount of money, just enough for buying beer.
Now all we need is someone to do the buying
Desiring someone to take on the responsibility of purchasing the beer.
My buddy Lendell, he ain't never got no money
Introducing a friend named Lendell who often lacks money.
But he drinks up most the beer everytime
Noting that Lendell consumes a significant portion of the beer despite not contributing financially.
By nine o'clock got a half case between us
By 9 o'clock, they have consumed a considerable amount of beer.
Pull into the quick pick Lendell had to have some smoke
Stopping at a convenience store; Lendell wants to buy cigarettes.
There sit Susie in Billy Cotts camaro
Encountering Susie in Billy Cotts' Camaro at the convenience store.
Lendell gives her a wink Billy says, "Want ya neck broke?"
Lendell flirts with Susie, leading to tension with Billy Cotts.
Their 'bout to go toe to toe
Indicating an imminent physical confrontation between Lendell and Billy Cotts.
Here comes a cop car
A police car arrives at the scene.
Lendell says the cemetery bill
Lendell mentions the cemetery bill, suggesting a potential consequence for fighting.
Well see how bad you are
Challenging Billy Cotts to prove how tough he is.
Another Friday night in this oil patch town
Describing the setting of another Friday night in a town centered around the oil industry.
Keep the beers outta sight when the state troopers come around
Advising to hide the beers when state troopers approach.
And we ain't lookin' for trouble wouldn't mind a fight
Expressing a nonchalant attitude toward trouble but not averse to a fight.
What else you gonna do it's just another Friday night
Posing a rhetorical question about the limited options for entertainment on a Friday night.
Billy says, "Let's get it on" and Lendell just slugs him
Billy suggests starting a fight, and Lendell immediately punches him.
That's 'bout all the fightin' that got done
Noting that the altercation between Billy and Lendell is brief.
Sheriff pulls up he says "What you hoodlums doing?"
The sheriff arrives and questions the group's activities.
"Nothing much junior just tryin' to have some fun"
Responding casually, claiming they are just trying to have fun.
He's acting tough and taking names
Describing the sheriff's behavior as authoritative, taking control and documenting names.
And shuttin' us down
The sheriff is shutting down their activities.
But at least we got something to talk about
Finding a silver lining in having a story to discuss on Monday.
When Monday rolls around
Highlighting the potential consequences of their actions.
Another Friday night in this oil patch town
Reiterating the setting of another Friday night in the oil-centric town.
Keep the beers outta sight when the state troopers come around
Emphasizing the need to hide the beers from state troopers.
Now we ain't lookin' for trouble wouldn't mind a fight
Repeating the nonchalant attitude towards trouble but open to a fight.
What else you gonna do it's just another Friday night
Pondering the limited options for entertainment on a Friday night.
Friday night in this oil patch town
Repeating the phrase, emphasizing the routine nature of Friday nights in the town.
