40th And Plum Performer(s): Wayne Raney
Now I come from the country But boy I'm a-tellin' you We treat our neighbors better Than you city-slickers do One met me on the street one day And he started pokin' fun When he asked me on which street I lived I said 40th and Plum
He said where?
Well, I said 40 miles from town And plumb back in the sticks Out where we raise gentlemen Even though you call us hicks Now you may think I'm ig-nor-ant But boy we sure have fun A-way out in the country On 40th and Plum
Well, I went into a bar one night To have myself a ball I ordered a double zombie That's the last that I recall The bartender wanted to take me home And he asked me where I's from I looked at him thru bloodshot eyes Said 40th and Plum
He said where?
Well, I said 40 miles from town And plumb back in the sticks Out where we raise gentlemen Even though you call us hicks Now you may think I'm ig-nor-ant But boy we sure have fun A-way out in the country On 40th and Plum
Well, he threw me out into the street And boy, I blew my top Somebody said you better quiet-en down I didn't know he was a cop He said, "You drunk, I'll take you home Just where did you come from?" I shoved him back, yelled in his face Said 40th and Plum
He said where?
Well, I said 40 miles from town And plumb back in the sticks Out where we raise gentlemen Even though you call us hicks Now you may think I'm ig-nor-ant But boy we sure have fun A-way out in the country On 40th and Plum
