A Dollar'S Worth Of Regular

I'm always good for a jump or a joke
I take it easy even when I take a toke
But there's a memory and a story never wrote
And every time it's told, I get a lump in my throat

I know it's crazy, but I swear it ain't a lie
It happened early in the pale morning light
A pretty girl in a foreign car drove in and winked her eye
And what she said right there and then I'll hear until I die

She said, "All I need is a dollar's worth of regular
All I want is an hour's worth of lovin'
But don't worry, darlin', you can fill me up this evenin'
Late in the evenin' when the stars are high above"

Now some old boys are made of stone and some are made of steel
And some can live on luck alone and never miss a meal
And some are selling bargain love, but all they do is steal
But what the hell, who gives a damn? A deal is just a deal

Now I'm a country boy with a simple country mind
I'm working in the station every day from nine to nine
But if somebody tells me that my life ain't too sublime
I just tell them what she said and then they know I'm doing fine

She said, "All I need is a dollar's worth of regular
All I want is an hour's worth of lovin'
But don't worry, darlin', you can fill me up this evenin'
Late in the evenin' when the stars are high above"

Late in the evenin' when the stars are high above
