[Intro]
We promised our friends from Stanley, Idaho, that we would do them a song tonight. And the only reason we're doing it is because it's a damn good song. There's a little band out of Stanley, Idaho, that's now based out in Austin, Texas, called Reckless Kelly, and they're badass. Now, this is a song about killing a woman because she pisses you off. You gotta do it
[Verse 1]
It sure didn't take too long
I woke up in the morning, she's gone
Well, the note that she wrote didn't say Dear John
It said, "Goodbye, sucker, I'm gone"
Was a homegrown mountain girl
Raised in a different world
I was a wannabe rocker, she was more into Merle
Couldn't see it just wouldn't work
Now, I'm double-fisting long necks and grapefruit and Stoli
But I'm never getting over Joely
[Verse 2]
And I poured myself in my car
I drove it on down to the bar
But they wouldn't let me in
'Cause I ain't a movie star
Went to the Horse Shoe on Lamar
The bouncer threw me out there, too
And I didn't know what to do
So I picked up the phone and I called Big Sue
Call block, it wouldn't let me through
Now I'm wishing for some drugs or a shrink to console me
But I'm never getting over Joely
[Verse 3]
Well, I gathered up all of my guns
And a pipe bomb just for fun
Drove to her house and parked out on the lawn
That's right, I always was a crazy one
Yeah, the boyfriend was sure nice to me
"Calm down, would you like a drink?"
And I shot him full of holes from his nose to his knees
Polished off her little sweet pea
Now I'm crying on my knees feeling dirty and unholy
But I'm never getting over Joely
Yeah, I'm probably getting life and serve at least forty
Never getting over Joely, hey
