BUBBA'S BLUE DONKEY IS ROCKIN' TONIGHT
WITH YEE-HAWS AND OUTLAWS AND A COUPLE OF FIGHTS
THE CROWD IS WOUND UP ON SKYNYRD AND BEER
YOU'LL NEED MORE THAN THREE STEPS TO GET OUT OF HERE

OUT IN THE BACK LOT, IT'S QUIET AND DARK
EXCEPT FOR THE BEATING OF TWO CHEATING HEARTS
AND ONE JEALOUS HUSBAND WHO CAN'T TAKE NO MORE
SO HE LIGHTS UP THEIR LIVES WITH HIS FORTY-FOUR

(CHORUS):
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DIG, JUST KICK UP SOME GRAVEL
TO FIND TANGLED PIECES OF OLD BROKEN HEARTS
YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED AT WHAT YOU UNRAVEL
CAKED IN THE DIRT BEHIND BUBBA'S BAR

RUSTED OLD HOUSE KEYS, SHINY NEW CHAINS
GOLD RINGS, BRASS CASINGS, STONES WITH BLOOD STAINS
LOOK, HERE'S THE DIAMOND I GAVE TO LYNN KATE
TILL SHE CAUGHT ME OUT HERE WITH THAT WAITRESS ON BREAK

(CHORUS):
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DIG, JUST KICK UP SOME GRAVEL
TO FIND TANGLED PIECES OF OLD BROKEN HEARTS
YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED AT WHAT YOU UNRAVEL
CAKED IN THE DIRT BEHIND BUBBA'S BAR

(BRIDGE):
REMEMBER THE TRIAL OF THAT BANKER'S YOUNG WIFE
ACCUSED OF HIS MURDER WITH NO ALIBI
THEY LOCKED HER UP TIGHT AND THREW 'WAY THE KEY
BUT SHE COULD GET OUT IF SHE HAD THIS RECEIPT

(INSTRUMENTAL)

(CHORUS):
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DIG, JUST KICK UP SOME GRAVEL
TO FIND TANGLED PIECES OF OLD BROKEN HEARTS
YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED AT WHAT YOU UNRAVEL
CAKED IN THE DIRT BEHIND BUBBA'S BAR

YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED AT WHAT YOU UNRAVEL
CAKED IN THE DIRT BEHIND BUBBA'S BAR
