Closin' Time

Closin' Time She said now Floyd don't get too close, I just came here to dance I came to hear some country tunes Ain't thinkin' 'bout romance He said, Wilma, I'm a changed man Just dance with me and see I'll stick to two-step sure enough An' you'll be proud of me An' so the juke box played George Jones And Willie now and then Floyd an' Wilma drank Lone Star 'Til can't remember when The time flew by 'til half past one They'd 'bout wore out their feet Floyd said Wilma don't take me wrong, But I got brand new sheets A changed man as I said before You see me at my best But I can see you’re plum wore out An' you could use some rest She said I've heard this line before Then laughed and shook her head I'm glad that you ain't changed a bit Let's go and find your bed Now they've children of their own A pair of boys, two girls They do their best to raise them right To face this big ol' world She warns the girls 'bout closin' time - Be careful who you pick! He tells the boys 'bout closin' time - New sheets'll do the trick!
