Two men sittin in straight back chairs
Feet propped up on the railing
Sitting in front of the country store
Discussing how the crops were failing About that time a car drove by
With an Ace Insurance bumper sticker
Well that must be the man been courtin' AbellHe's something of a city slicker (You can tell just from the way he's driving that car) Do you reckon he's goin' up to see AbellYou know her daddy went to Macon this day
And her momma's been in Arkansas with her ailin' paAin't nobody home that way (Ha ha, 'cept Abell!) Now I don't mean nothing by what I say
But if you won't say it, I can
She ain't got no bid'ness alone
With that Ace Insurance man (Why there's just no tellin' what might happen) People ought to keep an eye on their kids
You remember 'bout Abby McGuinnessWhy it, Lik'ta killed her ma when she found out about it
Course I know it ain't none of my bi'nessBut uh...well, if it was me. If it was me... It might be too late and it would be a pity
Better call up the sheriff in Calhoun CityAnd have the preacher organize a 'vestigating committee
To see what's going on (Yessir. And we'd better hurry!) Tearing down the road in a pickup truck
Whit Beg, ey out taking the lead
Followed by a tractor and a half lame mule
Dust flyin' as they picked up speed Faces beaming goodness and their jaws set hard
Good people just doing what's right
And off in the distance was Abell's house
And there wasn't a soul in sight
Aw, I could'a told you! (Oh I just knew it!) Now the gravel was flying as they turned the bend
And screeched to a grindin' halt
They went thru the fence, into the flower bed
And hit pa's first-prize hog in the head
And left half a dozen mama's chickens for dead
But it wasn't nobody's fault (Oh, look at Harvey's prize hog!)(
And all them darlin' little old bandy chickens)(
We got more important things to tend to, boy!)(
I wonder if they're covered?) Committee bounded on the front porch
To meet the enemy face to face
But Abell yelled at 'em thru the screen door"Y'all messed up my daddy's place!" But in her hand she waved a policy
Saying with a Mona Lisa grin"
Well, y'all timed that one just about right'Cause Ace done struck again!"
