SOLD OUT OF FLAGPOLES
E
I walked down past the courthouse square three blocks or maybe four
A RIFF
Run into my old friend there who runs a handy hardware store
E
I said mornin' Lon what's the good word
A E A RIFF
He said Abraham Lincoln Lone Ranger Mickey Mouse and I'm sold out of flagpoles
E
I popped the top off a soda pop laid a quarter on the bar
A RIFF
I said inflation is a dirty dog my payday sure ain't goin' far
E A
Liberty said Lonnie E Pluribus Uni in God we trust
E A RIFF
And I'm sold out of flagpoles
E
I said hey Lonnie did you see Evel Knievel jumpin' on TV
A RIFF
Jumped 13 buses with his machine reckon he could jump 14
E
No doubt said Lonnie winners keep on winnin'
A E A
Even losers win sometimes and I'm sold out of flagpoles
SOLO:
E
Ain't this been a year I said for frost and blight and flood and drought
A RIFF
Twice as many tornados reckon it's all caused by fallout
No it's the season said Lonnie they change
E A RIFF
Wind's gonna blow always did and I'm sold out of flagpoles
E
Hey what d'you think about the sheriff's daughter
Runnin' off with the preacher's son
A RIFF
The sheriff's wife had to hold him back from goin' after them with his gun
E
Boys and girls said Lonnie will get together
A E A RIFF
Everything's normal and I'm sold out of flagpoles
E A E A
And I'm sold out of flagpoles sold out of flagpoles sold out of flagpoles
