Runnin' Buddy Lyrics

It's 50 miles from Leaky down to Hondo

No straight shot the roads all twist and turn

Another 45 on in to San Antone

Seems a long way to go for just one girl



He pulls up Monday morning

puts his window down

Grins and tells me to breathe in deep

Her perfume still lingers from their last date

Says he's late for work

leaves me standing in the street



He's taken to wearing starched shirts

and his boots stay shined

He keeps that old truck neat as a pin

Her picture gazes down from his visor

At an empty dash where a spit cup should've been



[Chorus]

Hey runnin' buddy, what do you say to a twelve pack

Hey runnin' buddy, whatcha say to settin' some lines

Hey runnin' buddy, don't you remember

the good times we had

Before you hooked up with that San Antonio girl.



I've known Jimmy Wayne since the second grade

His mom and him moved in from Copperas Cove

We've always chased the girls down in Uvalde

Don't see why he needs him one in San Antone



On the first date, they went dancing at a VFW

A rough spot for such a cultured pearl

She matched him beer for beer, and she could polka

So he fell in love with that San Antonio girl



[Chorus]



Well we never just go drink beer like we used to

Road hunt, shoot signs, or shoot the breeze

Every weekend he loads up and goes to see her

I guess that old gal's just way more fun than me



It's a long haul from Leakey to San Antonio

No straight shot, the roads all twist and bend

Maybe come next Friday, I'll ride with him

See if she has got some San Antonio friends



[Alternate Chorus]

Hey runnin' buddy, what'll you say to a twelve pack

Hey runnin' buddy, whatcha say to runnin' some lines

(on the gals from San Antone)[1st time]

Hey runnin' buddy, wait'll you see the good times we'll

have

When we both hook up with San Antonio girls



[repeat alternate chorus]
