all we need is a ten and five-er,
A car and key and a sober driver.

A couple of frat guys from Abilene
drove out all night to see Robert Earl Keen
at the K-PIG Swine and Soire Dance.
They wore baseball caps and khaki pants.
They wanted cigarettes,
so to save a little money
They bummed one off this hippie
That smelled kinda funny.
And next thing they knew they were
both pretty hungry and
pretty thirsty too

They found a store with a sign that said their beer was coldest.
So they sent in Brad 'cause he looked the oldest.
He got a case of beer and a candy bar,
walked over to where all the registers are
laid his fake I.D. on the
counter top.
The clerk looked, and turned to
look back up and stopped.
He said "Son, I ain't gonna call the
cops, but I'm gonna have to keep this card"
the guys both took it pretty hard.

oh how happy we would be
had we only brought a better fake I.D.

They met another old hippie named Sleepy John,
claimed to be the one from the Robert Earl song.
So they gave him all their cash, he bought them some brews.
Was a beautiful day out in Santa Cruz
They were feelin' so good it
Should of been a crime.
The crowd was cool,
and the band was prime.
They made it back up front to their seats
Just in time to they could sing with all their friends
"the road goes on forever and the
party never ends".
