Текст Darrin Bradbury — Exile on Myrtle Beach

I was counting roaches in a chicken shack
Down on Myrtle Beach, the sun to my back
I got caught stealing hubcaps off a Pontiac
Yeah and here I am
Just skipping stones and watching birds
Headed from Albuquerque and I made a wrong turn
Picked up some cardboard wrote down some words
Someone said it was a sign

Yeah you and me we’re off scot-free
Like Bruce on a bike with some boardwalk queen
They say two lanes will take ya anywhere
I guess they’ll take ya on down
Down past Myrtle Beach

I saw Richard Pryor throw a stone into the ocean
Had a couple new jokes, none of them were worth quoting
A couple good quips and I guess that’s it
Nothing really on fire
I seen Elvis Presley down at the popsicle stand
Taking cues from Andy Kaufman on how to shake his ass
They’re doing a double bill co-header three-night stand down at Fran’s East Side

Yeah you and me, yeah we’re off scot-free
Like the heads that roll off the French royalty
The revolution was nothing more than a strong narrative with great publicity
Keeps the tourists at Myrtle Beach

Well I guess I’ll keep quiet like old Charlie Chaplin,
I didn’t like the steak so I spit it in the napkin,
It was too well done for anything to happen
Guess I wanted something rare
But the ball game’s starting so everybody cheer
You know it’s a good song if it sells some beer
You held me in the nosebleeds saying why are we here and I said why do you

You and me yeah we’re off scot-free
Like Eva and Adolf in a submarine
Some folks say they’re in Buenos Aries
But I seen them both chomping on hotdogs
And strolling down Myrtle Beach
