We sat there in a pickup truck

Drinkin' booze from a paper cup

Mellowed out and a -feelin' nice

Hey, Trudie Mae,

would you pass me the ice?

We'd make love when the night was hot

We were tough boys in a parking lot

With a Lord we've never built before

I remember how it was

You know your shade

when you first noticed us

A full -grown bed was never seen

We rolled the cuffs up

on our faded jeans
