Drive-By Truckers - The Night G.G. Allin Came To Town Lyrics

We were bored, there was nothing going on
Might as well stay at home
And drink until, pass out again

Drink some more when the morning comes
Memphis was sinking into the Mississippi
We were doing our best just to ride it down

Till the night G.G. Allin came to town
The night G.G. Allin came to town

"Honey, I don't believe this"
The old man at Ferguson's Cafe
Kept saying to his wife

As he read aloud
The Memphis Star and their account
Of what went down that night

"It says he took a shit on the stage
Started throwing it into the crowd
He was gone before the cops could come and shut him down"
Gone before the shit came down

The night G.G. Allin came to town
The night G.G. Allin came to town
Antenna Club, Memphis, 1991

Punk Rockers paid 12 dollars to be shit on
The night G.G. Allin came to town
The night G.G. Allin came to town

"Says he took the microphone and shoved it up his ass"
The old man and his wife were aghast
Me and Cooley we just laughed so hard
And both fell down

The night G.G. Allin came to town
The night G.G. Allin came to town
