| Lyric: |
It was a real window washer with heavy ground clouds Suicide conditions for the roller skating' crowd So I left the super slab to grab some sleep I said, "This is Bottle Popper out of Memphis town. What's the 20 on the nearest truck stop northbound? My lids are getting heavy, come on, come on." "Hey Bottle Popper, this is Southern Belle And I've got this place the Bedrock Hotel That's off the beaten path, but worth the 8's ride." "Mercy Southern Belle that sure sounds fine. My rig's all set for trucking' down the line 3's and 8's Southern Belle, I'm sittin' on the side Chorus My heart's in my hand My mics in my hand Bottle Popper's my handle Got my heart in my hand Got a load of brown bottles For Atlanta GA But a sweet talking' Took me out of my way So I got her home 20 and I let her rip Down a loose boardwalk and had me a sip And thought of the good times 'round the bend My rig and my Fantasy were both in high gear I forgot about the rain and Smokey the Bear And I forgot my gas which was sittin' on E So me and my rig came to a flying' halt And I cursed that wench 'tho it wasn't her fault I was tapped like a rat on a country road So I called for help on my ol' CB And for miles around truckers laughed at me I was the lamest fool on 18 wheels Chorus A county mounty fin'ly bailed me out He know the whole story without a doubt He just smiled at me with his toothy grin He said, "I think there's something you gotta know 'bout your lady friend on the radio-io." And he proceeded to tell me 'bout Southern Belle He said, "A sweeter woman you'll never see It's hard to believe she's 103. Seems like yesterday, she was 95." Now whenever I drive that southern route I get my ears on and holler and hoot As Southern Belle pulls the truckers in Chorus 2x Fade out "Breaker 1 9, this is Southern Belle, come on, come on I've got this cozy nap trap you've just got to see." |
