Sally McNally
My good friend Miss Sally McNally
likes to go real fast
likes to hear the engine roar.
Ain't no particular demons chasing her
just likes to push the pedal to the floor
And the wind goes whipping her bright red hair
all over the place but her freckles stay on board
Just an old jeep with the shocks and struts all shot
but she'll say that's all she can afford
Hey my old friend is the queen of
lucid dreams and painted toes
You can find her in the very first car
of the roller coaster every time she goes
If life's for living and loving is free
she gets more for her money than anyone I know.
Folks who think they're owed a living
there's no mistaking her for one of those
Yeah, my good friend Miss Sally McNally
likes to stay out late, and rise at the crack of dawn
Doesn't like to miss the sunrise
just because she was at the party and stayed too long
Don't try to tell her the candle's short
she'll laugh and say I'll sleep when I'm dead and gone
Hey life is beauty and beauty's truth
and the strong keep going while they still are strong
Well, my old friend has a
personal sense of style beyond compare
In a pretty sun dress and her hiking boots
and her ex's necktie holding back her hair
And the cute little house that he left her
along with the flower garden
flamingos here and there.
Well, he had that itch and scratched
but when he tried to patch it up, didn't have a prayer
"Cause my good friend Miss Sally McNally
has a heart of gold and a temper like TNT.
Do her wrong and she'll scatter the pieces
of your soul from Texas up to Tennessee
But treat her right, you got a friend for life
you got a friend who'll carry you from A to Z
Yes, my good friend Miss Sally McNally
says she has my back and that's enough for me
Hey my old friend you're the queen
of restless dreams and painted toes
You can find her in the very first car
of the roller coaster every time she goes.
If life's for living and loving is free
she gets more for her money than anyone I know.
She looks at the world with a crazy grin
and sings out, "Mama, buy me one of those."
