Too Damn Slow

There’s some young boys running around this town in a pickup truck

Nobody seems to know where they come from

You can hear it backfiring down on Main Street

Sounds like a double-barrel shotgun

Downtown Mary Sue says they’re chasing her daughters

It looks to me like her daughters are chasing them

The girls went and got their bedroom mattresses

They heard them boys were headed for Enemy Swim

Preacher John says they look outlaws

But then what the hell does Preacher John really know

When you’re young there’s only one speed

And if it ain’t wide open it’s too damn slow

That old pickup don’t even look very suspicious

Sure they took notice Mary Sue’s daughters

With the skirts hiked high on those cream thighs

Don’t you think that they oughta

Preacher John says they look outlaws

But then what the hell does Preacher John really know

When you’re young there’s only one speed

And if it ain’t wide open it’s too damn slow

Wide open is too damn slow

Wide open two days low

Too damn slow
