Darlington County (Wayne’s version)
That Bruce is really something else
Making me drive all the way to Darlington
And on the Fourth of July, even!
Had to miss the family barbecue and everything.
My Uncle’s been kind of a jerk to me
For as long as I can remember
So bugging him about a union job
Felt really awkward, but Bruce insisted.
And those girls that we met there?
Bruce kept hitting on the drunkest one
Asking her to sit on the fender of his car
But she got sick and passed out, instead.
So I started talking with one of her friends
Her name was Kathy and she was cool
Great kisser, too, but Bruce wouldn’t know that.
Because he moved on to some other drunk girl.
After a week of hanging out with Kathy
Her old boyfriend came looking for me
And it got pretty ugly at the bar one night
Five state troopers had to break it up.
As I was sitting handcuffed on the ground
I seen Bruce driving out of town
Hey, man, thanks for ditching me like that!
I hope my uncle will come bail me out.
