I knew a long legged lady from the lone star state,
she awaits my flight at the gate..
Said she'd give me all I wanted, but I could not wait..
No I could not wait,
cuz I was
Pickin' em up and layin' em down
They had a hard time stayin' around
Cuz I was
Pickin' em up, and layin' em down
They had a hard time stayin' around
I knew a pretty young brown out of New Orleans,
boy was she little and cute..
But when she had to go and try to tie me down,
I had to go and grab my suit...
and keep
Pickin' em up, and layin' em down
They had a hard time stayin' around
When I was
Pickin' em up and layin' em down
They had a hard time stayin' around
Met this hot little honey out in Hollywood Hills,
thought she was a keeper for sure..
but soon afterward I lost that thrill
when I found out she was a who*e...
and she was,
Pickin' em up, and layin' em down
They had a hard time stayin' around
Pickin' em up, and layin' em down
They had a hard time stayin' around.
