Out in the Parkin’ Lot Songtext
von Guy Clark

I was sittin′ on the fender of someone else's truck
Drinkin′ Old Crow whisky, hot 7UP
Out in the parking lot

You can hear the band playin' right through the wall
Ain't no cover charge, there ain′t no last call
Out in the parking lot

Now there′s a couple of cowpokes puttin' up there dukes
Wasn′t much to it after both of 'em puked
Out in the parking lot

And now someone called the police and the police finally came
And they wrote ′em a couple of tickets
And they took a couple of names out in the parking lot


I love to see the neon dancin' on the gravel
And I love to hear the pickup trucks come unraveled
And some have given up, some have given in
Looks like everybody′s lookin' for a friend
Out in the parking lot

Oops, there's a couple who could not wait to get home
Now they′re probably in love, so let′s leave them alone
Out in the parking lot

Now the band is on the bus, they're all loaded up to leave
But the drummer′s got a girlfriend and she's tuggin′ at his sleeve
Out in the parking lot

I love to see the neon dancin' on the gravel
I love to hear the pickup trucks come unraveled
Some have given up, some have given in
Looks like everybody′s lookin' for a friend
Out in the parking lot

Now everybody's gone, they′ve shut out all the lights
The dust begins to settle and it′s never been so quiet
Out in the parking lot
