Couple of frat guys from Abilene

Drove out all night to see Robert Earl Keen

At the KPIG Swine and Soiree dance

Walked over to where them registers are

Laid his fake I.D. on the countertop

The clerk looked and turned, and looked back and stopped

We met another old hippie named Sleepy John

Claimed to be the one from the Robert Earl song

It was a beautiful day in Santa Cruz
G                   D
Feelin' so good, shoulda been a crime

Crowd was cool and the band was primed
G                               D
They made it back up to their seats just in time to 
E                     A7
Sing with all their friends
Am                                            D
