Bossier City

[Verse 1]
Well Robbie's got a brand new girlfriend
She's got a script for pills
These here, man they're the good ones
Countin' those ten dollar bills

[Chorus]
"What Mama don't know won't hurt her"
That's what he'd always say
He's goin' down to Bossier City
Gonna drink his cares away

[Verse 2]
He's got a thousand dollars
That's more than sawmill pay
Lucy, she's at her mamas
But he'll lose it all today

[Verse 3]
He's got a thousand dollars
That's just some gasoline
You know that boy, well he can gamble
Like you ain't never seen

[Chorus]
"What Mama don't know won't hurt her"
That's what he'd always say
He's goin' down to Bossier City
Gonna drink his cares away

[Verse 4]
He's pullin' down on that lever
Like he's got cash to burn
Barely too proud to beg
I guess that boy'll never learn

[Verse 5]
He's drivin' back home on Sunday
Prayin' he don't get killed
You know that Lucy's kinda crazy
When she ain't got her pills

[Chorus]
"What Mama don't know won't hurt her"
That's what he'd always say
He's goin' down to Bossier City
Gonna drink his cares away

[Chorus]
"What Mama don't know won't hurt her"
That's what he'd always say
He's goin' down to Bossier City
Gonna drink his cares away
