A country-folk waltz about the old story: Small-town Mississippi girl meets big rock star, rides off on the back of his Sportster, and lives happily ever in Las Vegas. Why not?
Brand new old songs of the '30s, '40s, '50s and '60s.
Lyrics
Sweet Cindy Lou, from the banks of Yazoo
Was dishing up cornbread and greens
When up to the bar strode a rock and roll star
Something that she’d never seen.
She coo’d in his ear, “Boy, you ain’t from here.â€
And she wiped off her hands on her side.
He said, “That’s astute. And damn girl, you’re cute—
“Come out with me for a ride.â€
The old folks about had their eyeballs bug out
And a few had conniptions as well
Watching Cindy Lou Revill and a rock and roll devil
Take a hard Harley ride into Hell....
[Don’t she know]
Life ain’t all giggles and laughter
Life ain’t all skittles and beer.
Her soul in the sweet sweet hereafter
Is all she should think about here.###r
Sweet Cindy Lou roared away from Yazoo
On the back of a Sportster that night
And she never looked back down that long dusty track
To the town where her life fit so tight.
To Vegas they rode, to the boy’s grand abode
Full of servants and hot tubs and blow
They drank champagne and Snapple at a cute Elvis chapel
Now she dances at the Bellagio....
[Don’t you know]
Life ain’t all giggles and laughter
Life ain’t all skittles and beer.
Happily ever after
Is all she was waiting to hear.
Life ain’t all skittles and laughter
Life ain’t all giggles and beer.
Happily ever after
Is all we are waiting to hear.
