Playboys Of The Southwestern World Lyrics - Blake Shelton

1 This is a song

2 About best friends.

3 John Roy

4 Was a boy I knew

5 Since he was three

6 And I was two

7 Grew up two little houses

8 Down from me.

9 The only two bad apples

10 On our family tree

11 Kind of ripened and rotted

12 In our puberty

13 Two kindred spirits bound by destiny.

14 Well now, I was smart

15 But I lacked ambition

16 Johnny was wild

17 With no inhibition

18 Was about like mixin'

19 Fire and gasoline.

20 (And he'd say.)

21 Hey, Romeo

22 Let's go down to Mexico

23 Chase senoritas

24 Drink ourselves silly

25 Show them Mexican girls

26 A couple of real hillbillies.

27 Got a pocket full of cash

28 And that old Ford truck

29 A fuzzy cat hangin'

30 From the mirror for luck

31 Said, don't you know

32 All those little

33 Brown-eyed girls

34 Want playboys of the southwestern world.

35 Long around

36 Our eighteenth year

37 We found two airplane tickets

38 The hell out of here

39 Got scholarships

40 To some small town

41 School in Texas.

42 Learned to drink Sangria

43 'Til the dawns early light

44 Eat eggs Ranchero

45 And throw up all night

46 And tell those daddy's girls

47 We were majoring in a rodeo.

48 Ah, but my

49 Favorite memory

50 At school that fall

51 Was the night John Roy

52 Came runnin' down the hall

53 Wearin nothin'

54 But cowboy boots

55 And a big sombrero.

56 (And he was yellin',)

57 Hey, Romeo

58 Let's go down to Mexico

59 Chase senoritas

60 Drink ourselves silly

61 Show them Mexican girls

62 A couple of real hillbillies.

63 Got a pocket full of cash

64 And that old Ford truck

65 A fuzzy cat hangin'

66 From the mirror for luck

67 Said don't you know

68 All those little

69 Brown-eyed girls

70 Want playboys of the southwestern world.

71 And I said

72 We had a little

73 Change in plans

74 Like when Paul McCartney

75 Got busted in Japan

76 And I said

77 We got waylaid

78 When we laid foot

79 On Mexican soil

80 See the boarder guard

81 With the Fu Manchu mustache

82 Kind of stumbled on John's

83 Pocket full of American cash.

84 (He said.)

85 Doin' a little funny business

86 In Mexico, Amigo.

87 But all I could think about

88 Was savin' my own tail

89 When he mentioned ten years

90 In a Mexican jail

91 So I pointed to John Roy and said

92 It's all his now please let me go

93 Well, it was your idea genius

94 I was just layin' there in bed.

95 (When you said,)

96 Hey, Romeo

97 Let's go down to Mexico

98 Chase senoritas

99 Drink ourselves silly

100 Show them Mexican girls

101 A couple of real hillbillies.

102 Got a pocket full of cash

103 And that old Ford truck

104 A fuzzy cat hangin'

105 From the mirror for luck

106 Said don't you know

107 All those little

108 Brown-eyed girls

109 Want playboys of the southwestern world.

110 Ah, we're still best friends

111 Temporary cell-mates...
