G
A couple of frat guys from Abilene

D
drove out all night to see Robert Earl Keen

E
at the K-PIG Swine and Soire Dance.

C
They wore baseball caps and khaki pants.

G
They wanted cigarettes, 

D
so to save a little money

G
They bummed one off this hippie 

C
That smelled kinda funny.

G
And next thing they knew they were 

D
both pretty hungry and 

A                  D
pretty thirsty too

G
They found a store with a sign that said their beer was coldest. 

D
So they sent in Brad 'cause he looked the oldest.

E
He got a case of beer and a candy bar, 

C
walked over to where all the registers are

G
laid his fake I.D. on the 

D
counter top.

G
The clerk looked, and turned to 

C
look back up and stopped.

G
He said "Son, I ain't gonna call the 

D
cops, but I'm gonna have to keep this card"

A                                  D
the guys both took it pretty hard.

G
They met another old hippie named Sleepy John, 

D
claimed to be the one from the Robert Earl song.

E
So they gave him all their cash, he bought them some brews.

C
Was a beautiful day out in Santa Cruz

G
They were feelin' so good it 

D
Should of been a crime.

G
The crowd was cool, 

C
and the band was prime.

G
They made it back up front to their seats 

D
Just in time to they could sing with all their friends 

A
"the road goes on forever and the 

D
party never ends".
