PLOWED UNDER

Words & Music By Sam Creigh

Sam Says: This song is the album's novelty tune. I wrote it back in the day as a fun drinking song, and it went over well in the honky tonks of Tucson. Several people asked me why I didn't record it on my previous album. The song has actually been recorded two or three times previously without being officially released. This is by far the best version yet, and I'm happy to have it on "Wanted Man".

Well, tonight is my night to party--tonight is my night to shine

Gonna meet my little gal at a honky tonk bar--and show her a real good time

I'm gonna get plowed under, plowed under--I'll be sloshing through the topsoil real soon

I'm gonna get plowed under, plowed under--and I ain't gettin' up 'til tomorrow noon

I'm prepared for a big night of drinkin'--prepared for a big night of fun

Well, I might spend a week in the old calaboose--when the sheriff finds out what I done

I'm gonna get plowed under, plowed under--I'll be a potato or a carrot real soon

I'm gonna get plowed under, plowed under--and I ain't gettin' up 'til tomorrow noon

I'm gonna run and howl, go on the prowl--this town is mine tonight

I'm gonna dance and sing just like a king--you know I'm gonna be a sight

But when the lights come up and the bars close down--I'm headed underground, baby

Last call just starts it all for me

I'm gonna get plowed under, plowed under--I'll be sloshing through the topsoil real soon

I'm gonna get plowed under, plowed under--and I ain't gettin' up 'til tomorrow noon

Ain't gettin' up 'til tomorrow noon--ain't gettin' up 'til tomorrow noon
