Leopard Skin Pie

Out of the badlands of wild Louisiana
Like an express train racing at a hundred miles an hour
He gunned the gas searching for that lass
Who would take his breath away and make his heart shudder
And leave him a wreck on life’s burning highway
Deep in the back room of Big Mom’s bordello
Like a dynamo humming, like a storm weather warning
She was a mover. There was no disapprover
As she took her time simply to give them a good time
Her pump action smoking. A real nature lover
They met on a sidewalk in old Mississip'
He cocked his eye and she shook her hips
And cold calculation led to volcanic passion
While he burnt his boats she stood Bristol fashion
Checking his credit, and instead of forever
They just bought some time on the old never-never
And never say die, and never ask why
They drive green Cadillacs and eat leopardskin pie
And never say never, and don’t start to cry
Forever is only the time you can buy
They hustled in Vegas. They traded in sin
She took care of business while he oiled the springs
They were frisky in 'Cisco, the motel lights dimmed
It was life on the road, and they were out for a spin
They had hearts made of steel and skins made of leather
Their temperature gauge would read hot, forever
And never say die, and never ask why
They drive green Cadillacs and eat leopardskin pie
And never say never, and don’t start to cry
Forever is only the time you can buy
