lyrics

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

"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. ... more
