Lyrics
0:13This is where we dropped off the prettiest little girl
0:17Same grade as me
0:19Tried to kiss her once in the aisle of the bus
0:22And she walked right over me
0:25Face-down in the gum on the floor
0:28I was hopin' that she'd change her mind
0:31But I swear as she walked down the stairs
0:34She didn't even wave goodbye
0:37Didn't even wave goodbye
0:41Ray Dixon didn't take no lip
0:44He'd kick you right off the bus
0:47Stop by your house on the way out of the holler
0:50And tell your momma where you was
0:53He didn't need no driver's aid
0:55To keep a bunch of kids in line
0:59All he needed was a glare in the mirror
1:01And a paddle that he carved from pine
1:04Blisterin' punk kids alive
1:24This is where we dropped off the prettiest little girl
1:28Same grade as me
1:30I held onto hope for eight long years
1:33And by the time that I turned sixteen
1:36I wasn't awkward I's a real smooth talker
1:38With my very own pickup truck
1:42I'd take her home and if her parents weren't around
1:44She'd bring me in and give me some
1:47Bring me in and give me some
2:08Safe to say nowadays ol' Ray
2:10Can't keep a route very long
2:14And I'm glad the little girl's dad
2:16Never found out what was goin' on
2:19I know he'd kill me in a minute
2:22And he wouldn't have left no trace
2:25Hogs'll eat 'bout anything you give 'em
2:27And they don't let nothin' go to waste
2:30Don't let nothin' go to waste
2:35This is where we dropped off the prettiest little girl
2:38Same grade as me
This is where we dropped off the prettiest little girl Same grade as me Tried to kiss her once in the aisle of the bus And she walked right over me Face-down in the gum on the floor I was hopin' that she'd change her mind But I swear as she walked down the stairs She didn't even wave goodbye Didn't even wave goodbye Ray Dixon didn't take no lip He'd kick you right off the bus Stop by your house on the way out of the holler And tell your momma where you was He didn't need no driver's aid To keep a bunch of kids in line All he needed was a glare in the mirror And a paddle that he carved from pine Blisterin' punk kids alive This is where we dropped off the prettiest little girl Same grade as me I held onto hope for eight long years And by the time that I turned sixteen I wasn't awkward I's a real smooth talker With my very own pickup truck I'd take her home and if her parents weren't around She'd bring me in and give me some Bring me in and give me some Safe to say nowadays ol' Ray Can't keep a route very long And I'm glad the little girl's dad Never found out what was goin' on I know he'd kill me in a minute And he wouldn't have left no trace Hogs'll eat 'bout anything you give 'em And they don't let nothin' go to waste Don't let nothin' go to waste This is where we dropped off the prettiest little girl Same grade as me
