Here we are, and were walking down the street
And you're going to your Momma’s house
She didn’t know, that you were drinking by the sea
From a dirty old mason jar
What makes you think you are the best
Have you ever second guessed?
When you told me about Billy Sue
I could not believe what she had said
She put a spell on you,
She rooted it deep down in your head
You stole the car and you drove down Hastings street
Trying to beat me to the bar
Just didn’t know that the police women
already know who you are
I guess it’s cause you are the best
Better run and hide, and change your vest
And you know that it’s not my fault
That you’ve been living by artificial streams
But I guess were both out of luck
if were sharing the exact same dream
When you told me about Billy Sue
I could not believe that he was a she
But all the other people knew that
You truly liked to get down on your knees
