Runnin’ Buddy

[Verse 1]
It's fifty miles from Leaky down to Hondo
No straight shot, the roads all twist and turn
Another forty-five on in to San Antone
Seems a long way to go for just one girl
Well, he pulls up Monday mornin', puts his window down
Grins and tells me to breathe in deep
Her perfume still lingers from their last date
Says he's late for work, leaves me standin' in the street
He's taken to wearin' starched shirts and his boots stay shined
And he keeps that old truck neat as a pin
Her picture gazes down from his visor
At an empty dash where a spit cup should've been

[Chorus]
Hey, runnin' buddy, what'll you say to a twelve pack?
Hey, runnin' buddy, whatcha say to settin' some lines?
Hey, runnin' buddy, don't you remember the good times we had
'Fore you hooked up with that San Antonio girl?

[Verse 2]
I've known Jimmy Wayne since the second grade
His mom and him moved in from Copperas Cove
We've always chased the girls down in Uvalde
I don't see why he needs him one in San Antone
On the first date, they went dancing at a VFW
A rough spot for such a cultured pearl
She matched him beer for beer and she could polka
So he fell in love with that San Antonio girl

[Chorus]
Hey, runnin' buddy, what'll you say to a twelve pack?
Hey, runnin' buddy, whatcha say to runnin' some lines?
Hey, runnin' buddy, don't you remember the good times we had
'Fore you hooked up with that San Antonio girl?

[Verse 3]
Well, we never just go drink beer like we used to
Road hunt, shoot signs, or shoot the breeze
Every weekend, he loads up and goes to see her
I guess that old gal's just way more fun than me
It's a long haul from Leakey to San Antonio
No straight shot, the roads all twist and bend
Maybe come next Friday, I'll ride with him
See if she has got some San Antonio friends

[Chorus]
Hey, runnin' buddy, what'll you say to a twelve pack?
Hey, runnin' buddy, whatcha say to runnin' some lines
On the gals from San Antone?
Hey, runnin' buddy, wait'll you see the good times we'll have
When we both hook up with San Antonio girls
Hey, runnin' buddy, what'll you say to a twelve pack?
Hey, runnin' buddy, whatcha say to runnin' some lines?
Hey, runnin' buddy, wait'll you see the good times we'll have
When we both hook up with San Antonio girls
