Start Jamming...
Ah, I guess I'll walk around here and see what's going on over at Daddy Ray's house.
Sound like they're having fun in there.
[G] Let me knock up on the door.
[G] Hey fellas!
Oh, you guys are jamming in here, ain't you?
Yes sir!
Hey Ray, [D] how you doing, man?
Fine.
Still up, Floyd?
Oh yeah, I might hit a couple of notes with you in a little while once I get comfortable.
Did I get you a drink?
Uh, no, I don't believe so.
What?!
Nah, man, [G] I quit drinking.
I had to quit drinking.
You remember that last party we had over here?
Yeah, I remember.
With the fellas in the van and everything?
Remember we went [Gm] over to the liquor store to get ourselves some supplies to party on?
And I walked in the back there and got my two cases of Budweiser, set it up on the counter, told the man to rank it up.
I said, do you fellas want a little something to drink?
No.
Old Carl said, yeah, I want some whiskey.
I said, don't you want a half pint of that old safe way?
Ain't that what you drink, you know?
He said, no.
He said, [G] I want a quarter of that 20-year-old scotch.
I said, man, that costs a lot of money.
He said, that's all right, give me a quarter.
The man said, that don't come in quarters, that comes in [Gm] liters.
[G] Carl said, give me two quarters.
The man rung it up.
I looked over, I seen Stevie.
He was over there in the fine wine section.
I said, man, don't you want some of this muscatel over here on sale?
Ain't that what you usually drink?
He said, no.
He said, I'm in the mood for something good this evening.
I'm going to have some of this right here.
I said, great.
Googly moogly, that costs $25.
Now [Gm] I looked around behind me, I seen a man with a uniform, a security [G] guard, had a date of rape by the arm, brought him up to the check stand, reached in his coat, and took out a bottle of Jose Cuervo.
I believe this gentleman wants to pay for this.
I said, shame on you.
The man looked like everybody was in the mood for [D] drinking some expensive liquor that evening.
I don't know what happened.
Old John and Gary and them [G] had that liquor up there.
And you remember old Bill Thompson, don't you?
He's a nice fella, ain't he?
Yeah, he's a nice fella.
Yeah, old Bill had a big bottle of some kind of green stuff, I don't know what it was, it cost $17.
The man rung it up.
I said, all right, fellas, it's time to kick in a little bit here.
I said, John.
I said, give it up.
John said, I really would appreciate it if you could let me slide until about Thursday on this thing.
And I wasn't smiling about it, but I figured, you know, John's a nice fella.
I'd cover for him this one time anyway.
I said, Carl, give me some money.
Carl said, oh, man.
He said, I ain't got a quarter.
I just paid two months' rent and the car loan.
I said, oh, shut up.
I said, Steve.
I said, come on, help me out, man.
I know I can count on you.
Lay some of that money down here.
He said, man, I'm so sorry.
He said, my finances ain't been the same.
I had that post-earthquake syndrome.
I said, yeah, man, but that earthquake was way last October.
He said, well, I ain't got over it.
I was starting to get mad.
I was starting to see a big ugly picture of me paying for everything.
And then I turned to Danny Ray.
What did you tell me, man?
What did you tell me?
I forgot my wallet.
Man behind the counter said, you sure have some bad luck.
But it ain't bad luck.
[C] I just got the [G] wrong kind of friends.
[C] No, it ain't bad luck.
I just got the [G] wrong kind of friends.
[D] Ain't never got no money.
