Keeper - Shovels & Rope

Well Lulu’s by the river and she got herself a good good man

Spent half a year offshore in ole Alabam'

Her friends said she should leave him and come join them in the west coast sand

But she knows she’s got a keeper and they’ll never really understand, understand

She put a line in the water when the sun comes up

Starts drinking when its going down

Dancing all alone to the radio till her man come back around

She might go down to Pensacola, maybe lay out on the old Gulf Shore

But she don’t go to bars at home without him anymore

She don’t care about what they say, she don’t listen anyway

All the roughneck rounders playing cards around the TV set

Waiting around for something hasn’t happened yet

Joking with a dancer she said «I could help you to forget»

But he knows he’s got a keeper so he smiles and lights a cigarette and tips his

hat

He put his head on the pillow when the sun comes up

Starts working when its going down

Melting hot steel down in Bienville just waiting on the turnaround

He starts thinking about Pensacola, he could be fishing on the old Gulf Shore

But he don’t like to do those things without her anymore

He don’t care about what they say, man he don’t listen anyway

They put their lines in the water when the sun comes up

Start drinking when it’s going down

Dancing real slow to the radio cause her man come back around

They might go down to Pensacola, do a little fishing on the old Gulf Shore

But they don’t like to stay out all night the way they did before

They don’t care about what they say, she never listens anyway
