Ace Insurance Man |
Two men sittin' in straight back chairs |
Feet propped up on the railin' |
Sittin' in front of the country store |
Discussin' how the crops were failin' |
About that time a car drove by |
With an Ace Insurance bumper sticker |
Well, that must be the man been courtin' Abell |
He’s somethin' of a city slicker |
(Ah, you can tell just in the way he’s drivin' that car) |
Do you reckon he’s goin' up to see Abell? |
You know her daddy went to Maben this day |
And her momma’s been in Arkansas with her ailin' pa |
Ain’t nobody home that way |
(Ha, ha, 'cept Abell) |
Now, I don’t mean nothin' by what I say |
But if you won’t say it, I can |
She ain’t got no bid’ness alone |
With that Ace Insurance man |
(Why they’s just no tellin' what might happen) |
People ought to keep an eye on they’re kids |
You remember 'bout Abby McGuinness |
Why’t like’t killed her ma when she found out about it |
Course, I know it ain’t none of my bid’ness |
But uh, well, if it was me, but if it was me |
Well, It might be too late and it would be a pity |
Better call up the sheriff in Calhoun City |
And have the preacher organize a 'vestigatin' committee |
To see what’s goin' on |
(Yes, sir and we better hurry) |
Tearin' down the road in a pickup truck |
With Begley out takin' the lead |
Followed by a tractor and a half-lame mule |
Dust flyin' as they picked up speed |
Faces beamin' goodness and their jaw’s set hard |
Good people just doin' what’s right |
And off in the distance was Abell’s house |
And there wasn’t a soul in sight |
Aw, I coulda told you |
(Oh, I just knew it) |
Now, the gravel was flyin' as they turned the bend |
And screeched to a grindin' halt |
They went through the fence, into the flower bed |
And hit Pa’s first prize hog in the head |
And left half a dozen Mama’s chickens for dead |
But it wasn’t nobody’s fault |
Oh, look at Harvey’s prize hog |
And all of them darlin' old grown bad chickens |
(We got more important things to tend to, boy) |
I wonder if they’re covered? |
Committee bounded on the front porch |
To meet the enemy face to face |
When Abell yelled at 'em through the screen door |
«Y'all messed up my Daddy’s place» |
In her hand she waved a policy |
Said with a Mona Lisa grin |
«Well, y’all timed that one just about right |
'Cause Ace done struck again, a-heh» |
