TWO SIX-PACKS AWAY
(Ronnie Self)


Dave Dudley - 1965


I got on my wheels and I went out on the town a-draggin'
I hit a big old tree, it looked like I wrecked the big wagon
I got a hospital bill and the judge a-waitin' for me to pay
I had a sweet little honey just two six-packs away

I told the judge there was two trees and I went between 'em
He said "From what I hear your condition that's the way that you seen 'em"
He laid down that hammer and he gave me ninety long days
I had a sweet little honey just two six-packs away

(Guitar Break)

Well I'm a workin' on a county road, but it's sunny weather
It's gonna take awhile to put my wheels back together
Now Sunday rolls around, that's my cigarette day
And my baby's still a-waitin' just two six-packs away

When I get out of this place and don't say I ain't never saw one
Goin' down to Joe's and have that big bartender draw one
For my throat is dry and my mouth feels like clay
And my baby is a-waitin' just two six-packs away
And my baby is a-waitin' just two six-packs away
And my baby is a-waitin' just two six-packs away
