Carl Perkins — Two Old Army Pals

Yes, we know we should have been home By this time, my darling, yesterday See, we were rolling across Texas And this big old memory jumped in our way Well we stopped off down in Austin Just to spend a little time with this old friend of mine Then we had a few beers and a whole lotta laughs Honey, we forgot about the time Well we told old Willie we'd set a spell But you know how he is, he made us stay And he took us to this honky-tonk To hear them country guitar-pickеrs play Well we must have had thеir table 'Cause these two ol' girls come in and sat right down But you know me and Carl We woke up only after Georgetown Now you take two old army pals And a couple of good ol' gals And that's a mighty good way to make a good man late for home But honey, we're feelin' fine And I'm rollin' on down the line No, we ain't mad, and y'all ain't done no wrong Yeah, this big old gal named Bertha Swore up and down that she was kin to me Said her daddy had a brother Who had moved away somewhere to Tennessee Well we must have talked for hours But I never did convince her completely Yeah, you get mighty friendly When you're off discussing your old family tree Just take here two old army pals And a couple of good ol' gals And that's a mighty good way to make a good man late for home But honey, we're feelin' fine And I'm rockin' on down the line No, we ain't mad, and y'all ain't done no wrong
