Lyrics A Dollar's Worth Of Regular - The Ozark Mountain Daredevils

A Dollar's Worth Of Regular

I’m always good for a jump or a joke
I take it easy even when I take a toke
But there’s a memory and a story never wrote
And every time it’s told, I get a lump in my throat
I know it’s crazy, but I swear it ain’t a lie
It happened early in the pale morning light
A pretty girl in a foreign car drove in and winked her eye
And what she said right there and then — I’ll hear until I die
She said all I need is a dollar’s worth of regular
All I want is an hour’s worth of love
But don’t worry darlin', you can fill me up this evening
Late in the evening when the stars are high above
Now some old boys are made of stone and some are made of steel
And some can live on luck alone and never miss a meal
And some are sellin' bargain love, but all they do is steal
But what the hell, who gives a damn — a deal is just a deal
Now I’m a country boy with a simple country mind
I’m workin' in the station every day from nine 'til nine
But if somebody tells me that my life ain’t too sublime
I just tell 'em what she said — and then they know I’m doin' fine
She said all I need is a dollar’s worth of regular
All I want is an hour’s worth of love
But don’t worry darlin', you can fill me up this evening
Late in the evening when the stars are high above
Late in the evening when the stars are high above
Woo — wo — wo -woo
