We took Ervin out to see this girl
I think they call her Shanae or Shanelle
Over by the foot of Lookout Mountain
In the Alamo Plaza Mo - tel
Ervin says "Just wait right here
There's a man I need to see.
He goes by the name of Jimmy Young
I think he knows where she might be."
Then he's sorta half steppin' out steppin' in
Like he really don't plan to stay
Big Korean kid walks up
And Ervin runs away
Ervin Junior got a downtown girl
It ain't that hard to see
Jimmy said "Son, you better run run run
Cause that girl belong to me. She belong to me!"
Now Ervin is a country boy
And he know you gotta take a stand
He gonna steal that girl from Jimmy Young
He gonna love her like a natural-born man
He met Shanae in her Cheve-ro-let
But she made him keep his head down low
She said "You gonna make a very fine man some day
And I'm sorry but I just can't go."
Everything was gettin kinda complicated
Jimmy says love is kinda over-rated
Ervin had to hang his head
Cause he knew he had to let the girl go
Anybody wanna buy a Greyhound ticket
To the Gulf of Mexico?
