Bring me nuther brew

Charles Suddeth

(My “perfect” honkytonk song)

I lint you my brand new Ford pickup truck,

I thought you were stranded and stuck.

You said you was going to the laundromat,

But you snuck off with my best friend, Matt.

Just because he’s a big ole rodeo star,

You two ended up at a honkytonk bar.

I’m gonna tell your pa, gonna tell your ma,

Let everybody know exactly what I saw.

In a day or so, you’ll slink back to town,

Your face in a frown, your head hung down.

Folks gonna laugh, and you gonna cry,

I’ll wave goodbye, and you’ll know why.

Chorus:

Oh, Sara Jean, why were you so mean?

We were pals, I thought you were my gal.

[In response to a photo of a girl sitting in a truck in front of a laundromat—and wanting to know if a country song was there]
