When I first met you girl I had just turned seventeen
You were with my best friend Albert and both our slates were crystal clean
When we went on our first date I picked you up at 5 AM
Took you on my motorcycle ridin while you held my hand
Well we went up to the Monastery was playin with your braided hair
Looked into my eyes and then you kissed me right there fair and square
Now why can't we just talk and try to get along?
You know I love you babe I miss ya since you've been gone
Laura Ann how's this thing gonna end
Laura Ann drove me to my Witts end
Laura Ann how's this thing gonna end
Laura Ann drove me from my best friend
Now Matthew and Johanna came along and we were havin fun
Then the Devil got a hold of me and you lit out there on the run
Now I should give a damn bout what your momma said
I always respect your daddy miss him to this day
Laura Ann how's this thing gonna end
Laura Ann drove me to my Witts end
Laura Ann how's this thing gonna end
Laura Ann drove me from my best friend
Well it's been twenty years and now I'm sittin here I'm all alone
Stayin in the county jail got you on the telephone
There's one thing you've got to know it's hard for me to have to say
The only thing that I regret is ever pushin you away
Laura Ann how's this thing gonna end
Laura Ann drove me to my Witts end
Laura Ann how's this thing gonna end
Laura Ann Drove me from my best friend
Laura Ann how's this thing gonna end
Laura Ann drove me from my best friend
Yea
