Drunk On Jenny Lynn

I stumbled out the door and I staggered up the block/ My head was spinning around and around and I could barely walk/ I jumped into that car of mine and fumbled with the keys/ One eye shut and high as hell, I sped out on the street
in about a half a mile I spied the cherries on my back/ They put the handcuffs on and asked how many I'd tipped back/ "Officer", I said, "I swear I haven't had a drop"/ "I'm drunk on Jenny Lynn, and I don't wanna sober up"
Her girl-like charm is so intoxicating/ My knees go weak and my heart just starts racing/ Some people ask me why I choose to live a life of sin/ I tell them, "I ain't drinking, I'm just drunk on Jenny Lynn"
I pick her up and take her for a night out on the town/ We turn this city on its heels, out making all the rounds/ I like the High Life but she drinks that ol' Pabst Blue Ribbon/ But I don't mind because I'm just getting drunk on Jenny Lynn
I take her hand and we get lost, deep in each other's eyes/ I kiss her and she whispers, in my ear, long breathless sighs/ If you haven't seen me and you wonder where I've been/ I'm laying in the garden getting drunk on Jenny Lynn

Loverina

You said you loved me, then you walked away/ You said that you just didn't feel the same/ I cried and begged but it was way too late to hold onto you/ And now this empty house is way too big/ My one companion is the tv screen/ I want to call you but I know you won't pick up the phone
You made me breathless but now I can't breathe/ It gave me life but now it's become the death of me/ When you stole your love from me
I'm headed south, bound for San Antone/ I'm tired of sitting in this room all alone/ Because everything in this god damn town reminds me of you/ Kansas City's just around the bend/ This town will always make me think of when/ I came back home for you and swept you up off your feet again
My loverina has gone away from me/ And our sweet happiness has faded into memory/ Loverina, where can you be

Purple And Green

Purple and green/ Are the colors I'm seeing/ Riding down a backstreet/ In a little Texas town/ I hear a dinner bell whine/ I guess it must be dinner time/ I think I'll stretch my legs a while/ In this one horse town
It's February now/ And the snow is falling down/ But here in this little town/ You'll find spring time all year 'round
Desert prairie blue/ Wild flowers' sweet perfume/ How I have longed for you/ Little Texas town
It's February now/ And the snow is falling down/ But here in this little town/ You'll find spring time all year 'round
Steel guitars play/ Hear the fiddles bend and sway/ Spanish guitar night and day/ In this Texas town

King Of Love

Yesterday you told me, baby/ You're not the lovin' kind/ No huggin' and no kissin'/ You said I just ain't your type/ But, my dear, I beg to differ/ I'm every woman's kind/ So come by, give me a try/ I swear I'll change your mind
He can give you diamond rings but don't you know that I'm the king of love
Last we uncorked a bottle/ And turned the light down low/ We started up the phonograph/ And started dancing slow/ Then you melted in my arms/ When I licked you on the neck/ I felt your heart racing/ And you couldn't catch your breath
I wasn't trying anything but, baby, you could not deny the king of love
I will do "the missionary"/ I'll do 'the from behind"/ I'll do "the back stroke"/ So you can jump on and take a ride/ If you want to know my number/ It's number 69/ I'm ordering the oysters, girl/ I eat them all the time
And when I get you 'tween the sheets, I'm gonna treat you like the queen of love
Some girls will always say yes/ And some will tell you no/ Some girls will stay out all night long/ And some get up and go/ But no matter what them girls do/ I'm gonna make you mine/ And love you every morning, afternoon, and every night
Sweet baby, you could be my queen if you'd just let me be your king of love

Take Me Back To Texas

Hanging out in Austin/ Having Fun Out In The Sun/ I made out with her in the backseat of my car/ Down by the Alamo/ Way down south in San Antone/ Baby, baby that's where you won my heart
Take me back to Texas where the air stays warm at night/ Oh, how I long to see her spread across the desert in the pale moonlight/ I need to see her, I need to be with her
We walked together down the blue bonnet lane/ I wondered if we'd ever get any rain/ But the sun beat down and the temperature kept on rising/ But in December the air turned cold/ And I got crazy and I lost control/ But I wasn't thinking clearly and I can't stop apologizing

El Drifte
"He'll blow into town like the cold, north wind but before you see him coming, he'll be gone
again"...
Is it country? Is it honkytonk? Is it rock and roll? Garage? Indie? Western? Cow punk? Rockabilly? Tex-Mex?
The answer is yes. We call it alt twang but it can most accurately be described as great music that you will love.
