Bobby wished he was from the past   He said those cars they used to drive were the best   I know that I'm a simple man   Even my dreams I deserve to have      Annabel had plans of her own   She said there's no way in hell I'm going home   Mamma says, she always knows best   God love her but her life is a mess      I won't change my mind   So keep your hand on my thigh tonight   When we get up north, we'll buy us a store   I won't fight in an oil man's war      Bobby bought a brand new suit   From his neighbor bought round toe shoes   Stuffed the money down in his socks   On his way he bought a wrist corsage      Annie was scared to death   She'd never once in her life laid with a man   But she knew it was his only chance   She bought a white dress second hand      I won't change my mind   Keep your hand on my thigh tonight   When we get up north, we'll buy us a store   I won't fight in an oil man's war      You can't say it's just a matter of pride   I've been living here since I was a child   And now I'm just a simple man   But even my dreams I deserve to have      I won't change my mind   Keep your hand on my thigh tonight   When we get up north, we'll buy us a store   Live upstairs after the kids are born      And I'm not gonna die   So keep your hand on my thigh tonight   'Cause when we get up north, we'll buy us a store   I won't fight in an oil man's war   I won't fight in an oil man's war
