Cops gone fishing with the publican
Down Seven Mile Creek and they're drinking again
Left the ladies to each other and a bottle of gin
Six miles out of town and they're drinking again
The old girl, she runs a whisper off the gasoline
Eight miles to the gallon and she's handling clean
She left the thumbs down the road cause she was feeling mean
And Davey got bail on the Christmas Eve
Six years after he'd left the criminal scene
He left the dog in the driveway for the wife to see
Two shots close range tat a tat a tatee
The paint runs dry on the canvas grim
See the czech's out to paint about his problem again
He's got a mother lost a girl to a murderous grin
In a city out of town, and he's drinking again
Well, Reggie was a keg-lifting champion
A hundred miners in the long bar and they're drinking again
Rough night, long dig, until the mineral's thin
Left the town to the locals, and they're drinking again
Cops still fishing with the publican
We've been waiting at the long bar and we're drinking again
Soon they'll get here and they'll join us in our cardinal sin
We'd be miles out of town, but we're drinking again
Said we'd be miles out of town, but we're drinking again
We'd be miles out of town, but we're drinking again
