[Eb]
Well, I had two weeks of vacation time [Ab] coming after working all year down at Big Roy's [Eb] eating and plumbing
[Bbm] So one night me and my family and I were gathered round the dinner table [Eb] said kids
If [Eb] you could go anywhere in this great big [Ab] world now, where'd you like to go to?
[Eb] He said dad
We [Db] want to see the biggest [Ab] bottle of twine in [Eb] Minnesota
They [Db] picked the biggest [Ab] bottle of twine in [Eb] Minnesota
So the very next day we loaded up the [Ab] car with potato skins and pickled [Eb] wieners
Crossword puzzles spider-man [Bb] comics and mama's homemade rhubarb [Eb] pie pulled out [Bbm] of the driveway [Ab] and the neighbors
[Abm] They all waved [Eb] goodbye
So began our [Bb] three-day journey
[Eb] We picked up a guy holding [Ab] a sign that said twine baller [Eb] bust he smelled real bad and he [Bb] said his [Eb] name was Bernie
[Db] I
Put in a swim women [Eb] tape my wife put on a brand new [Db] hair net kids were in the backseat
[Eb] Open up and down yet.
And are we there [Ab] yet?
And all of [Fm] us were joined [Eb] together in one [Cm] common thought [Bb] as we roll down the long and winding
It has stayed an off 53 [Eb] to soda
We're [Db] going to see the biggest [Ab] bottle of twine in [Eb] Minnesota
We're [Db] heading for the biggest [Ab] bottle of twine in [Eb] Minnesota
We couldn't wait to get there.
So [Ab] we drove straight through for three whole [Eb] days and nights
Of course, we stopped for more [Bb] pickled wieners now and then
[Eb] The scenery was just so [Ab] pretty boy
I wish the kids could have [Eb] seen it but you can't see out of the side of the car [Bb] because the windows are
Completely [Eb] covered with the decals from all the [Bb] places where we've [Eb] already been
[Ab] Like Elvis or [Eb] Ram of the Tupperware [Bb] Museum the bowl evil [Eb] monument and cranberry [Ab] world the shuffleboard
[Eb] Hall of Fame boodle dog [F] walk in the neck of [Bb] albino squirrels
[Ab] We've been to ghost towns [Eb] theme parks wax museums [Bb] and the place where you can [Eb] drive through the middle of a tree [Ab] scene
Alligator [Eb] farm that tarantula [F] ranch is under still one thing.
[Bb] We gotta see
[Eb] Well, we crossed the state line about 639 [Ab] and we saw the sign that said twine ball [Eb] exit 50 miles.
Oh
They started saying [Ab] 99 bottles of beer on the wall for the [Eb] 27th time that day
So we pulled up the road at the last chance [Ab] gas station got a few more pickled wieners and a diet [Eb] chocolate soda
on the way [Db] to see the biggest [Ab] bottle of twine in [Eb] Minnesota
[Db] [Ab]
[Eb] Finally at 737 [Ab] early Wednesday evening as the Sun was [Eb] setting in the Minnesota sky
[Db] [Ab]
[Eb] Out in the distance on the [Ab] horizon it appeared to me like a vision [Eb] before my unbelieving eyes
We parked the car and walked with [Db] all filled reverence [Ab] toward that [Eb] glorious huge majestic sphere I
Was just so overwhelmed by its [Db] sheer immensity.
[Ab]
[Eb] I
Had to pop myself a beer Yes
[Ab] [Db] [Ab]
[Eb] Yes, [Db] it's the biggest [Ab] wine in [Eb] Minnesota
Tell [Db] you it's the biggest [Ab] wine in [Eb] Minnesota
What
[Db] [Ab] make a man decide [Eb] to do that kind of thing
[Db] 21 [Ab] [Eb]
[Db] [Ab],140 [Eb] pounds of string
What [Db] [Ab] [Eb] was he trying to prove?
[Db] Who's he trying [Ab] to impress?
[Eb] Why did he build it?
How did he do [Db] it?
[Ab] anybody's guess
[Eb] Where did he get the twine?
[Db] What was going through [Ab] his mind?
[Db] Did it just seem [Ab] like a good idea [Bb] at the time?
[Eb] We walked up beside it and I warned the kids [Ab] now you better not touch it those ropes are there [Eb] for a reason I
Said maybe if you're good, I'll tie it to the back [Ab] of our car and we can take it home, but I [Eb] was only teasing
Then we went to the gift shop and stood in line [Db] bought a souvenir [Ab] miniature ball of twine
[Eb] Someone don't eat cows and anything else.
[Ab] They'd sell us
And [Eb] I bought a couple postcards greetings from the twine [Bb] ball.
Wish you were here.
Won't the folks back home [Eb] be jealous?
I
[Ab] Gave her camera to Bernie [Eb] and we stood by the ball [Bb] and we all gathered around and [Eb] said cheese
[Ab] Then Bernie ran away [Eb] with my brand new instamatic, [F] but at least we got our [Bb] memories
[Eb] So we all just stared at the ball for a [Ab] while and my eyes got moist
But I said with a smile [Eb] kids this year is what America is [Bb] all about
[Eb] Then I started feeling kind of gooey inside [Ab] and I fell on my knees and I cried and cried [Eb] and that's when those
[Bb] security guard [Eb] threw us out
You know, [Ab] I bet if we unraveled that sucker [Db] it'd roll all the way [Ab] North [Eb] Dakota
[Db] [Ab]
[Eb] [Db] [Ab]
[Eb]
[Ab]
[Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] I
Said folks I can tell you're all sad to go [Ab] then I winked my eye and [Abm] I said, you know
I [Eb] got a funny kind of feeling [Bb] will be coming back again [Eb] next year
Cuz [Ab] I've been all around this great big world [Db] and I can't think of [Ab] anywhere else I'd [Eb] rather go
