Well, Lula was a girl from a humble town
She had a mean, drunk daddy liked to push her ’round
And he sold what he called poor man’s cocaine
But the police called it methamphetamine

One night she sunk her knife in the small of his back
Ain’t no one gonna find where she buried him at
She took a train up the river into Omaha
Did some dirty damn things and bought a broke down car

She’d say, I ain’t gettin’ younger
I just wanna feel good
I ain’t gonna do what you want ’cause you tell me I should
I’m just gonna sit right down
And have a smoke
Somebody buy me a beer
Somebody tеll me a joke

Well, pеople do funny things to numb their pain
And Lula drank liquor to forget her name
She used to sleep it off by an old oak tree
In that Pontiac she bought with her money from the street

She’d say, I ain’t gettin’ younger
I just wanna feel good
I ain’t gonna do what you want ’cause you tell me I should
I’m just gonna sit right down
And have a smoke
Somebody buy me a beer
Somebody tell me a joke
She was crying for her life that she never knew
What could have been and how it was and what she ought to do
She wiped a tear from her eye, then she shut her mouth
Then her feet broke the river and the lights went out

Said I ain’t gettin’ younger
I just wanna feel good
I ain’t gonna do what you want ’cause you tell me I should
I’m just gonna sit right down
And have a smoke
Somebody buy me a beer
Somebody tell me a joke
Somebody buy me a beer
Somebody tell me a joke
