UNMARRIED LADIES ---------------------------------------------------------- The passenger door was left hanging wide open Anything worth taking was sure enough gone But they could not loosen off the battery cables So at least we'll make it home tonight [chorus] For the unmarried ladies and the Jameson whiskey And the tales of a stranger they murdered so cruel Purple candles and grapes and the chickasaw lightning Sitting higher than an old caboose You might spend yer day like a runaway truck ramp With half sunk and rusted out trailer park eyes If they ask you today you might have to be braver Than the bull they dragged dead around the ring Sometimes I catch myself wishing I'd spoken So careless but I've never been a traitor no no no It's easy enough just for me to remember What an armful of sweetness can do When a young boy leaves home with his fathers approval And he leaps from the top of the L&N bridge With no voice in his ear and no hand on his shoulder He'll find his way down to Healy's farm
